Yes, everyone, it is the moment you have all dreaded. A new version of pure python __builtin__s. This version contains nudity, sexual references, chr implemented using '%c'%i, an optimized ord, multiarg map and zip, and the new functions unichr, oct, hex, staticmethod, *attr (for * in (get,has,set)), isinstance, issubclass, and slice. I did not include classmethod as this seems to warrent further discussion. Stuff I think can be easily done in python that haven't been yet: dir, raw_input, reload, round, and xrange.
aehm, did i miss anything or was your attachment lost?
