I wonder if anyone has any thoughts not on where Python should go but where it should stop?
My feelings on this is, it's a problem of organization and documentation. Do both of these well, and things will be manageable.
I would like to see a bit cleaner file organization framework. I think keeping the different parts/modules/utilities/etc. Seperate and in their own place would solve a lot of distribution/installation problems.
Having a central distribution place for people to download third party modules in a standard install/uninstall package format would also help.
