People keep saying this, but there have already been examples shown of how to do it. I actually think that python should include a way to do so standard -- it's a reasonable enough desire, as shown by how many times in this thread the inability to do so has been mentioned. If the existing working 3rd-party mechanisms aren't good enough for python-dev standards, come up with a new way...
