I uniformized the behavior of 0^0 a long time ago (though I make no claim about what has happened between then and now -- just that it was uniform for a few precious minutes). The decision back then (which I still stand behind) is that while it is mathematically unjustifiable, it's Python's convention so we should stick with it.
