IMO, it's worth filing iff: a) you think it's worthwhile (this one sounds worthwhile to me) b) you write a patch and are prepared to patiently keep at it until it gets applied Make sure your patch follows PEP 8. Make sure the patch includes test and documentation updates / additions (you don't need to write docs in LaTeX format -- other people will do the conversion to LaTeX for you if you like). If there are no doc changes required, state that explicitly in the patch tracker. If your patch gets ignored, review five other patches, and post to python-dev stating you have done so and requesting that your patch is reviewed (there's a shortage of patch reviewers).
