I propose the following PEP for inclusion to Python 3.1.
Thanks for picking this up.
I'd like to extend the proposal to Python 2.7 and later.
-1 to adding it to the 2.x series. There was much discussion around adding features to 2.x *and* 3.0, and the consensus seemed to *not* add new features to 2.x and use those new features as carrots to help lead people into 3.0.
Actually, isn't the policy just that nothing can go into 2.7 that isn't backported from 3.1? Whether the actual backport happens or not is up to the developer though. OTOH, we talked about a lot of things and my recollection is probably fuzzy.

That *is* the official policy, but there was discussions around no further backporting of features from 3.1 into 2.x, therefore providing more of an upgrade incentive
