There is or was a module called "kinds" which was an implementation of PEP 0242. I have it and it gives the values you are looking for (and more). But I don't know where I got it. I think it was once distributed with Macpython on MacPython.org, but I'm not sure. I've searched for it, but nothing shows up except my own questions about it from many years ago and they have no clues. Does anyone know where this package is? Or what might replace it. It is very useful. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
