title: python 3 types module
body: <p>Why is the <code>types</code> module in Python 3 so small?</p>
  <pre><code>Python 2.7
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import types    
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(len([i for i in dir(types) if not i.startswith('__')]))
  37
  
  
  Python 3.2
  &gt;&gt;&gt; import types    
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(len([i for i in dir(types) if not i.startswith('__')]))
