Last August, James Knight posted to python-dev, "There's a fair number of classes that claim they are defined in __builtin__, but do not actually appear there". There was a discussion and James submitted this patch:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1009811&group_id=5470&atid=305470 The final result of the discussion is unclear. Guido declared himself +0.5 on the concept, but nobody has reviewed the patch in detail yet. The original email thread starts here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047477.html The patch still applies, and test cases still run OK afterwards. Now that 2.4 has been released it is perhaps a good time to discuss in on python-dev again. If it isn't discussed, then the patch should be closed due to lack of interest.
