Jim, you want to have most things separate, if I've read your recent posts to the dev and 3k lists correctly. Lean and mean Python distribution. I'd agree with you if we had the infrastructure for it, something which would function at least as well as apt-get does, pulling dependencies and doing platform and version checks automatically. But I don't think Python is anywhere near that level of infrastructure, and it's a bit of a stretch just to maintain the infrastructure that currently exists. Given that, I think that moving functionality out of the standard library would damage Python, not improve it. Given that, I'd rather see what's in the stdlib be updated to best-of-breed, instead of the-first-thing-we-thought-of-in-1995, as all too much of it is.
