[Python-Dev] PEP 294: Type Names in the types Module

[Greg Ewing]

Oren Tirosh <oren-py-d@hishome.net>:

> The primary objection was that the documentation for the types module
> says that names exported by future versions will all end in "Type".

Suggestion: Introduce a new module called "newtypes". You can
interpret this name two ways: the module containing all the
new names for the types, and the module you use when you
want to create a new instance of a type!
