Well, my "Sumo" proposal was a serious one. (not serious in that I would offer to give a hand, but in that I think it could help those people; also, wouldn't it be sensible for users in a corporate environment to share their efforts and produce something that can benefit all of them? it's the free software spirit after all) > This is a Python implementation of a stable Java API, Brian has said the > futures package has been on PyPI for about a year, and it's been > flagged as a production/stable release since October last year. I'm not against futures being in the stdlib, I was just pointing out that I don't agree with the "corporate culture issues should be accomodated by including more modules in the stdlib" argument.
