my daydream PEP would be: boostify the library (date, stats, math) with no regard for backward compatibility...

then when I wake up I defer the development leadership to Luigi ;-)

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for the quick reply!  Had wondered whether to pester you and Peter
directly, or go to the list.

That's the issue.  But I guess if were to collect 'PEP' items (didn't we once
a loooong time ago?) maybe this could be one.  Might also make for a fun
project for a motivated Google Summer of Code student...

Cheeers, Dirk
