Okay, so, I don't have a patch
Submitted, http://www.python.org/sf/1009811 I'll note here, too, that I didn't add all the missing core types, only the ones that weren't iterators, descriptor internal stuff, or list comparison wrappers. For any of those that are at all possible to access from python code, I think they ought to show up somewhere, but I'm not convinced __builtin__ is the right place. Also the ones with "-" in their name need to be renamed.
I have made a script to examine the situation.
Improved it slightly, and found another set of problems. Some modules have a function bound in place of the type: E.g.
select.poll() <select.poll object at 0x401cdea8> isinstance(select.poll(), select.poll) TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class, type, or tuple of classes and types select.poll <built-in function poll> "D'oh!"
Here's the list of these: select.poll not a type. mpz.mpz not a type. itertools.tee not a type. _csv.reader not a type. _csv.writer not a type. md5.md5 not a type. cPickle.Pickler not a type. cPickle.Unpickler not a type. mmap.mmap not a type. xreadlines.xreadlines not a type. James
