Andy,
Sounds like a good idea to me.

Yes and yes. I've copied Richard in on this.

Thanks, Andy, but I'm on the Python 2.1 version - it's no more than a week
away. Honest.

I'll also do a 2.2 version as soon as I know what's going to be in it!
Iterators and generators seem to be in for sure, and after reading your
'What's New in Python 2.2' document I understand what they do, so they
aren't a problem. Ditto the other changes mentioned in your document.

But I'm not sure about the Type/Class unification stuff - I don't know if
it's going in, and I don't understand it, either! So here, I could use some
help.
