     Bad idea.

     Note, though, that within Python, you can easily replace existing
function definitions with your own.  This is something of a desperation
measure, but it works.

    I have a small collection of patches to the standard Python libraries
which I import.  (I've reported all of them in the tracker as bugs, and some 
later version of Python will contain the fixes. But that can take years.)
