This isn't ever going to be a standard feature. It's available as a third-party package and that's fine.
I'd like to add a historic note -- this was first proposed around 1995 by Michael McLay. (Sorry, I don't have an email sitting around, but I'm sure he brought this up at or around the first Python workshop at NIST in 1995 -- I was his guest at NIST for several months at the time.) -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
