[Python-3000] Discussions with no PEPs

[Bill Janssen]

Phillip,

I think there is a certain schizophrenia in Python between the older
original procedural/functional orientation (itself somewhat split),
and the newer-fangled (for Python) object style, between len(obj) and
obj.len().  That's what makes it hard to evaluate the pros and cons
between adding generic functions (as Lisp did, to support its own
functional style), and adding interfaces (in whatever fashion) to
support the object-oriented view of life.
