-10000000. The standard library is not about easeness of installation. It is about having a consistent fixed codebase to work with. I don't want to go Perl/CPAN, where you have 3-4 alternatives to do thing A which will never interoperate with whatever you chose among the 3-4 alternatives to do thing B. I don't want to stop being able to read and fix programs because they use 15 libraries I never heard of, with obscure APIs and terrible naming conventions. Let us keep our batteries, please. -- Giovanni Bajo _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
