   Here's dir(types), in Python 2.6.5:

['BooleanType', 'BufferType', 'BuiltinFunctionType', 
'BuiltinMethodType', 'ClassType', 'CodeType', 'ComplexType', 
'DictProxyType', 'DictType', 'DictionaryType', 'EllipsisType', 
'FileType', 'FloatType', 'FrameType', 'FunctionType', 'GeneratorType', 
'GetSetDescriptorType', 'InstanceType', 'IntType', 'LambdaType', 
'ListType', 'LongType', 'MemberDescriptorType', 'MethodType', 
'ModuleType', 'NoneType','NotImplementedType', 'ObjectType', 
'SliceType', 'StringType', 'StringTypes', 'TracebackType', 'TupleType', 
'TypeType', 'UnboundMethodType', 'UnicodeType', 'XRangeType', 
'__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__']

Seems to be missing SetType, FrozenSetType, BytesType, and
ByteArrayType.  Anything else missing?

(Arguably, "bytes" isn't really distinguished until 3.x, but
still...)
