OK, makes some kind of sense. I suppose (as you point out in another thread) that the issue is that distros generally don't have a way to say that if a machine has both, say, tcl/tk and python installed, then _tkinter.so would be a natural thing to have as well. Similarly, if it has got both python and gcc (which is quite common nowadays) then 'config' is a minor addition that would be quite handy -- even more so than _tkinter.so, because unless you go and hack, it's not obvious to me how you can install a 'config' in your home dir and have the system python pick it up.
