I think the point is that there is the core language, and from a user's perspective builtins and statements and syntax are all the same thing. When you import a module, it's more-or-less obvious where you find information about the module (the module index, of course). But "print", "sorted", and "list" are all equally "built in" in the mind of a new user. And frankly, though with experience I understand the categorization, I don't find it particularly compelling. A new and improved language reference document should deal with all of these together, I think. Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
