Any suggestion about naming?
For the builtins, it would actually be possible to do this by simply importing an alternate builtins module. Something like from future_builtins import min, max, zip, range For methods on standard objects like dicts it's not really possible either way; the type of a dict is determined by the module containing the code creating it, not the module containing the code using it. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
