Thanks, I noticed. Hence my question following what you quote:
"""
 Is PEP 237 phase C to be implemented sooner than py3k,
making isinstance(<something>, int) a transparently distinction-hiding alias for
isinstance(<something>, integer), or outright illegal? IOW, will isinstance(<something>, int)
be _guaranteed_ to be a bug, thus requiring code change? If so, when?
"""
Sorry that my paragraph-packing habit tends to bury things. I'll have to work on that ;-/
