Have you published your function?  If not, please do.

Several people would like to see such a function in 2.5 (including
me), and your function sounds a good candidate.  Maybe a little
polishing is required, but don't let that stop you: if you don't get
time to do that polishing, this is a rare occasion when somebody else
is likely to push it the small additional distance it would need to go
in order to get into the Python stdlib!
