I don't have specific input on the rest of this discussion, but I disagree strongly with this statement. The environment in which python programs run, ie: the python runtime and standard library, are *our* "userspace", and the same constraints apply to our making changes there as apply to the linux kernel and its userspace...even though we knowingly break those constraints from time to time[*]. --David [*] Which I think the twisted folks at least would argue we shouldn't be doing :)
