Yes, it is. I haven't had time to read the PEP, but I assumed some "backward compatibility" constraint is at work here too, since, e.g., subprocess.py has
try: False except NameError: False = 0 True = 1
and that doesn't make sense for 2.4 either.
If so, then it should be documented in PEP 291, otherwise backward compatibility stuff is fair game for ripping out. -Barry
