I wonder what is the current state of type/class unification i.e. "new style classes"?
The Python 2.5 library reference ( chapter 2.3 ) still states that this issue is being "far from complete". ( BTW this signals the user that the object system is quite immature and early alpha. Maybe one should rethink commenting the current state of development all over the public docs? ) Since we discuss new features here I would like to listen what people think about opening builtin types? So far Python has a protective policy to not let users add a method to e.g. an int or str. Is there a deeper design issue or is it for pure implementation/optimization reasons?
