I agree. Because of the BDFL pronouncement, I cannot reject the patch, but I won't accept it, either. So it seems that this patch will have to sit in the SF tracker until either Guido processes it, or it is withdrawn.
If people want to restart this discussion, I'd like to start back with the following message, rather than simply accepting/rejecting the patch. From the two comments so far, it seems like it's not the patch that needs reviewing, but still the concept. On August 10, 2004 12:17:14 PM EDT, I wrote:
Sooo should (for 'generator' in objects that claim to be in __builtins__ but aren't), 1) 'generator' be added to __builtins__ 2) 'generator' be added to types.py and its __module__ be set to 'types' 3) 'generator' be added to <newmodule>.py and its __module__ be set to '<newmodule>' (and a name for the module chosen)
Basically, I'd like to see them be given a binding somewhere, and have their claimed module agree with that, but am not particular as to where. Option #2 seemed to be rejected last time, and option #1 was given approval, so that's what I wrote a patch for. It sounds like it's getting pretty strong "no" votes this time around, however. Therefore, I would like to suggest option #3, with <newmodule> being, say, 'internals'. James
