All new items and changes to the FR tracker are automatically emailed to
python-bugs-list@python.org. Whether anyone besides me is subscribed to
that list is a question I can't answer <wink>.
Fair warning: feature requests usually don't go anywhere unless somebody
volunteers a patch (comprising code, doc, and test suite changes)
implementing the request. If you're not in a position to do that yourself,
it can be helpful to discuss what you want on comp.lang.python too (in the
hope that somebody else gets inspired to do it).
