- 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.

- 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.
