No, I don't think it is misrepresenting anything. The 'new' module simply exposes names for some things which don't otherwise have names, none of the types accessible through that module are actually defined there. The class 'function' is a builtin definition, but by default it isn't bound to any name accessible to the Python interpreter. If you do: >>> def f(): pass >>> type(f).__module__ '__builtin__' >>> help(type(f)) Help on class function in module __builtin__: ... etc ... then the help makes a bit more sense. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
