Yes, but with an official scheme for deriving the names from the main package name, and also an understanding that these are implementation details to be used only when really necessary (hence the leading underscores). Considering Guido's comment about people gratuitously using the C versions, perhaps only the Python version should be made available as an official alternative. It's unlikely that people will gratuitously choose what they perceive to be a *slower* version of the module. :-) -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
