It depends on the Python version that you're running - I think!!!  See 
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3134/ 
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0409/ 
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0415/ and finally try (groan :) 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep3134/

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
