Proposal: add sys to __builtins__

[James Stroud]

I'm into *real* purity. I would rather begin every script:

from python import list, str, dict, sys, os

Oh wait. I only use dict in less than 50% of my scripts:

from python import list, str, sys, os

That's better.

I was just stating your proposal didn't really solve anything. A good
editor/template and .pythonrc already save you the typing of 'import
sys' in scripts for the former and shell command for the latter.

What? How exactly is that pure? "from x import y" is bletcherosity
incarnate! You should do:

import python

s = python.str(5)
# etc

And don't let me see you importing like that again!
