Hi,
I tend to obsess about things sometimes. I was looking at the Python Standard 
Library documentation and reading about lists, dictionaries, and files, and I 
started to wonder why len, del, and open are part of the built-in's, if that's 
the right term, rather than methods of the objects called dictionary, list, and 
file. Just saying.

Jim
