The way I'd put it, any function that wants to go in builtins should require a formal PEP. And in case it isn't clear, I'm +1 on deprecating oct()/hex() (or moving them into another module as convenience functions for base() -- just to make conversion easier). -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
