Beware: some of these procedures are not yet pushed to the repo.

Yay! 😀👍

About the unticked python's function or class
First, there are some of these functions that can be easily implemented:

1. slice() can be by system.countup()
2. ascii() can be implemented by the help of unicode.Rune's proc (I have made it alreadly)
3. vars() can be by system.fieldPairs for object and tuple

Next, I 'd say that some of these functions are alreadly implememented by nim itself:

1. round(x[,n]) in std/math
2. proc sorted[T](a: openArray[T]; cmp: proc (x, y: T): int;
   order = SortOrder.Ascending): seq)[T] {.effectsOf: cmp.} in std/algorithm
3. reversed[T](a: openArray[T]): seq[T] in std/algorithm
4. zip[S,T](s1:openArray[S];s2:openArray[T]): seq[(S,T]) in std/sequtils
5. len() for set, array, seq and so on

Then, there are still some of them having behaviors that are similar but not the same a bit:

1. locals() : in Nim it's a static view. And when in the global scope, it's always empty.
2. type() : in Nim it's a alias of typeof(), and it can only be used to get something's type , not to create a new type (class)

Finally here is a suggestion:
filter[T](s: openArray[T]; pred: proc (x: T): bool {.closure.}): seq[T] is already in std/algorithm
