Why doesn't Python offer dist data indicating the modules that are included in the standard library? That way there doesn't need to be much special handling to support whether it's an external package or a standard library module. Things like dependency generators can pick this up properly. I think Perl does it that way... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ python-devel mailing list python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
