Message 115683 - Python tracker

Well, it was, originally, but it met with so little interest that I couldn't be bothered to polish it to inclusion standards.  Anyway, there was the incompatibility problem of what to do with the __file__ attribute, and the fact that the patch was Windows only.

Do we have a place where we can put in working patches for people to use at their own risk, without going through all the hoops of a successful python.org checkin?
