OK, I found this statement intriguing. Honestly, I can't function without Numpy, but I have always assumed that many Python programmers do so. Meanwhile: most of the time, I have no use for urllib, but that module is in the standard library. I noticed the adoption of the @ operation for matrix multiplication. I have yet to use it myself. So is there a fraction of the Python community that thinks that Numpy should in fact become part of the Python stdlib? What is the "administrative convenience" to which you refer? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
