Well, it is already pretty cluttered -- it contains many items that *I* don't recognize... :-) > The list of types has grown pretty long and most of the types can't be > instantiated in Python. I fear that the types are going to confuse too > many people. However the types are useful for type checking and ABCs. Stuff in sys that people don't use doesn't really confuse anyone IMO. I really don't think that this warrants a new module. Many of the datatype-related types (e.g. dict_keys) should not go there but in _collections anyway. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1522> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
