While these tools are really great, discoverability is a big problem. I wonder if it would make sense to bring the most useful ones under a common top level command, a la bzr, svn, and so on. When written in Python, argparse provides very nice support for subcommand definitions. For example, Mailman 3 includes a top level 'mailman' command with subcommands for starting/stopping the processor, creating lists, etc. I'm not sure there's enough commonality to justify it, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. ;) -Barry
