I won't push them explicitly, but the feature hopefully will get used when Apple upgrades to Python 2.6. Hopefully I'll run into the Python maintainer at WWDC. BTW. As a born nitpicker I have to react to your use of the word "upstream" ;-). Apple is downstream from me, that is they are a user of the Python.org code.
