There have been various half-hearted requests for such a feature, including by myself, but nothing concrete. One day, in my Copious Spare Time, I intend to write a proper feature request and/or PEP for such a feature. Obviously the absolute earliest such a feature could be introduced is Python 3.4, about 18 months from now. (Although frankly, I would imagine significant opposition from the more conservative Python developers.) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
