You're right, and sometimes a contributor steps in and propose a PEP to move things forward for a so-called orphan module. If I'm not wrong, it was the case for StringIO, pickle, distutils, wsgiref and optparse even if each of these packages has its own story. -- Florent Xicluna _______________________________________________ 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
