Sure, but why would anyone use *beta* releases in that way?

(and for all practical purposes, 1.6 is a beta)

Besides, you can *always* patch a standard library module.
Just copy it to the local directory (tweak the Python path
if necessary), and apply the patch in there.

Or wait for 2.0b2 -- out later today.
