Also, and possibly more of an issue, use of the ".missing.py" file will mean that a user can't provide their own implementation of the module later on sys.path. I don'rt know if this is a significant issue on Unix platforms. On Windows, there is a 3rd party implementation of the curses module which (as I understand it) can be user installed. If Python included a curses.missing.py, that would no longer work.
Certainly these are only minor points, but worth considering.
I don't think that's a minor point, I think its a very important one. -- Steve
