Unless you're volunteering to produce a patch, the chances are zero. If you *are* willing to do the work, the chances would still be pretty slim. Guido has just rejected a patch adding PEP 8 compliant aliases for types like datetime, so I think replacing built-ins have all-but zero chance. But if you want to pursue it, the right place is the python-ideas mailing list. Go for it ... but be prepared to justify the change, and not just "for consistency". As Guido has quoted before, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
