I feel the same way, but I hate importing basic functionality necessary
for every single script, no matter what the domain.

I wish there weren't so many exceptions directly in builtins. They
should go in a sub-module __builtins__.exceptions .

 Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus
Just how compassionate can a Republican get before he has to leave the 
GOP and join Vegans for Global Justice? ... One moment, George W. Bush
is holding a get-to-know-you meeting with a bunch of gay Republicans.
The next he is holding forth on education or the environment ... It is
enough to make a red-blooded conservative choke on his spotted-owl
drumstick.     - April 29th, Economist
