The tracker. Mark issue for 2.7, type documentation.
If you know of multiple omissions, put them altogether.

Do mention (or quote from interpreter*) how you determine the info you 
request to be added. No many developers will want to go back and verify

Attribute error

2.6.x
 >>> import pkgutil; pkgutil.get_data
<Method type ob at ...>
