Re: [Python-Dev] copy, len and the like as 'object' methods?

Again, I wasn't considering getting rid of old builtins. We're going to be adding new methods to all of the types anyway (since they'll derive from object), so I was just suggesting that len or length be an alias for __len__.

Hm, but this would violate TOOWTDI. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
