IIRC, trigonometric functions, such as sin or cos, are not considered "elementary" in the real domain.

The problem with this proposal is where to stop.  Right now the line is drawn somewhere at __abs__ and __pow__.  If you add __sin__ and __cos__, you would probably want to include __tan__ and the inverses to all three of sin, cos and tan.  What about hyperbolic functions: sinh, cosh, tanh, etc?  These are actually "elementary" in the usual sense.

-1 and the proper forum for such suggestions in python-ideas rather then the bug tracker.
