Thanks for Gregory to point out my mistake and forward this mail to 
python-3000. I really feel sorry for my mistake.

I have already checked out py3k branch and done some comparison with the 
Python 2.5.2 release. My knowledge about Python internal is fetched from 
the source code. And I will continue to study the document. But I am 
still afraid of the lacking of document.

So I would like to make sure that some people is willing to help me 
whenever I encountered a really hard problem relating to Python internal.

Thanks a lot!
