Introduction
This PEP contains a list of small feature requests that may be
considered for future versions of Python. Large feature requests
are not included here, but are described in separate PEPs. See
pep-0000.txt for details.
Core Language
Standard Library
- The urllib module should support proxies which require
authenication. See SourceForge bug #110619 for information:
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=110619&group_id=5470
- A builtin function that returns the number of bytes an object
uses internally. Apparently mxTools has a sizeof function that
returns the size of the object struct itself.
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=110835&group_id=5470
- Add C API functions to help Windows users who are building
embedded applications where the FILE * structure does not match
the FILE * the interpreter was compiled with.

See this bug report for a specific suggestion that will allow a
Borland C++ builder application to interact with a python.dll
build with MSVC.
