-0 My main concern is that we'll start seeing all kinds of packages with names like: com.dusinc.sarray.ptookkit.v_1_34_beta.btree.BTree The current lack of global package namespace effectively prevents bureaucratic package naming, which in my mind makes it worth the cost. However, I'd be willing to believe this can be kept under control some other way. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
