Sorry if this is a dumb question, but are there actually good reasons to remove "types"?
IMHO the types module helps keeping code readable.
For example
"if type(obj) == FloatType"
is just more readable than
"if type(obj) == type(1.0)".
Luckily Python does not distinguish float and double like other languages
- otherwise it wouldn't be clear for the average programmer if 1.0 is a
float or a double constant.
