In fact, PEP 3003 says explicitly, under "Case-by-Case Exemptions":
"""
New methods on built-ins
The case for adding a method to a built-in object can be made.
"""
So I'm changing the version back to 3.2. Having said that, I'm still -0 on
this change. I can see some (small) value for bases 36 and 62 in particular,
but little use for the other bases.
Incidentally, Yuvgoog Greenle did bring this up on the python-ideas list (thank
you!). The thread starts here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2009-August/005611.html
The thread was rather inconclusive: it got bogged down in discussions over
whether bases 37+ should be allowed, whether there should be options to specify
the digit-set used, and the like.
