Types should be with their associated functionality and not in some arbitrary module.<br></div><div><br>I think the above example is good is good except for dumping all the interpreter stuff into sys. sys is already clogged with tons of low-level, interpreter specific functions. What we need is a new module: interpreter (or something). I want to move all those functions like _getframe, getrefcount, get/setrecursionlimit, etc from sys there. FrameType, CodeType... will also fit nicely in there.<br>
<br>Also, I think the ListType, DictType, and SetType should go into collections.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>

Actually, inspect.types might be a good place to put them all.<br>
