Your email, though, already seems like a rather good start for one and should not require much more work. It would be easier to get the module itself sans any Python core changes accepted initially to gauge usage and interest by the Python community before pushing for syntax integration. This is what is be done with the current rational implementation. I personally would like to see the module included but currently say no to any integration into the core syntax. -Brett
