You could make the same argument about any module in the stdlib.
Yeah, and that's exactly what I did.
I doubt it. Simple modules are unlikely to develop a following
because it is
too easy to partially replicate their functionality. urlparse and
os.path
are very useful modules but I doubt that they would have been
successful on
PyPI.
Are you saying your proposed module is so simple that anyone can
easily replicate it with just a couple of lines of code?
Parts of it, yes. Just like I can replace most operations in os.path
and urlparse with a few lines of code.
The good news in this case is that the same API has been used
successfully
in Java and C++ for years so it is unlikely that any major changes
will need
to be made.
Good. Then the time it takes to "mature" on PyPI would be very short.
How would you define "very short"? I've had the project on PyPI for
about a year now:
