+ - It would be nice if the built-in SSL socket type could be used
+ for non-blocking SSL I/O. Currently packages such as Twisted 
+ which implement async servers using SSL have to require third-party
+ packages such as pyopenssl. 
+
+ - reST as a standard library module
+
+ - The import lock could use some redesign.
+ 
+ http://www.python.org/sf/683658
+
+ - A nicer API to open text files, replacing the ugly (in some
+ people's eyes) "U" mode flag. There's a proposal out there to
+ have a new built-in type textfile(filename, mode, encoding).
+ (Shouldn't it have a bufsize argument too?)
+
+ - Support new widgets and/or parameters for Tkinter
+
+ - For a class defined inside another class, the __name__ should be
+ "outer.inner", and pickling should work. (GvR is no longer certain
+ this is easy or even right.)
+

+
+ - Decide on a clearer deprecation policy (especially for modules)
+ and act on it.

+
+ - Provide alternatives for common uses of the types module;
+ Skip Montanaro has posted a proto-PEP for this idea:
+
+ http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-May/024346.html
+
+ - Use pending deprecation for the types and string modules. This
+ requires providing alternatives for the parts that aren't
+ covered yet (e.g. string.whitespace and types.TracebackType).
+ It seems we can't get consensus on this.
+
+ - Lazily tracking tuples?
+

+
+ - Make 'as' a keyword. It has been a pseudo-keyword long enough.
+ Too much effort to bother.
