In all likelihood, no. However, if you want to advocate for this change, and try to change their minds, I suggest you read and follow the suggestions that Steven D'Aprano gave you in an earlier email (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-September/042107.html).

Everything you need to know is at https://docs.python.org/devguide/ Eric.

Truth is, probably not. You would need to convince Raymond (and to a lesser extent, Tim) that this is a good idea. See my last email for the *minimum* of what you would need to show. Without a patch, there is no chance this will happen: I'm not going to do it, and Raymond definitely won't since he doesn't think it is necessary. With a patch, you might have a tiny chance. But frankly, I think you would be better off just adding it to your own personal toolbox of functions. Not everything has to be in the standard library.
