Because there's no reason to include them, since they are already in the root (builtins) namespace. You'll notice that in Python 3, the "types" module only contains types which are not obviously accessed through easier means: >>> dir(types) ['BuiltinFunctionType', 'BuiltinMethodType', 'CodeType', 'FrameType', 'FunctionType', 'GeneratorType', 'GetSetDescriptorType', 'LambdaType', 'MemberDescriptorType', 'MethodType', 'ModuleType', 'TracebackType', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__'] Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
