If you don't have an account already in sourceforge.net (where Python
sources are located so far), you could create one, and submit your
patches there; you might also want to subscribe to the Python-Dev
mailing list:

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev

since your post would be considered more on-topic if posted there.
Nonetheless, you are most welcome as a contributing pythonista
("santinista pou'xw" - non-greeks forgive my greeklish pun :)
