FWIW: I find this discussion a bit strange. Python's stdlib is supposed to provide basic tooling for a breadth of use cases, with emphasis on "basic" and "breadth". urllib is such a basic library and covers one of the main use cases for Python we have. It would be pretty much beside the point of the stdlib to remove such basic functionality and make Python less attractive and less useful for beginners. Anything more complex can be dealt with on PyPI, as it is already happening. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Feb 08 2022) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Support ... https://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Product Development ... https://consulting.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
