And FWIW, I generally agree with Barry about adding things to 2.7.

+1. Not to mention the general problem of adding new features in maintenance releases (what? it doesn't work for you? Check it's 2.7.6 and not 2.7.5!) , at this point in the trajectory of Python 3.x and 2.7 it sends a very wrong message.
