What happens when an enthusiast re-implements a stdlib module e.g. decimal s.t. it becomes a builtin module? Will the stdlib module serve as a wrapper to conform the current API or will the builtin module conform to the current interface. BTW the distinction between builtins and non-builtins seems to be an artifact of the particular runtime implementation. Application level / interpreter level becomes pretty fluent with regard to PyPy for example. Not sure about these distinctions in Jython and IronPython. Note that I do like all these lower case builtin classes, so it is not about my personal taste, but making coding conventions depended on how something is right now implemented seems to miss the point. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
