what should we use instead of the 'new' module?

Robert,

Appreciate your response.

However Guido says here that types was never intended to be used like
that:

http://bugs.python.org/msg58023

quote: "The types module was only ever intended for type
checking, not for creating new instances.

The correct solution will be to use whatever we end up deciding about
pyvm. Certainly the types module will go."

So that does not seem like a very long term solution to me?

best,

Flavio
