So you can't do >>> len(1,2) 2 a la list.append, socket.connect pre 2.0? (or was it 1.6?) My imprssion is that generally METH_VARARGS is saner than METH_OLDARGS (ie. more consistent). It seems the proposed METH_O is basically METH_OLDARGS + the restriction that there is in fact only one argument, so we save a tuple allocation over METH_VARARGS, but get argument count checking over METH_OLDARGS.
