The problem is not so much the size by itself that more code means more maintenance burden for python developers. Including new code means it has to work everywhere where python works currently, and that other people can understand/support the related code. Adding code to a project is far from free from python maintainers POV. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
