This PEP looks great to me. Thanks to everyone involved.

I don't think this PEP changes the inclusion calculus, because I don't think we've given any real weight to that in stdlib inclusion decisions. I think the decision making is already focused on why Python should have a particular tool out of the box. The only context I recall where "installation difficulty" has been considered relevant is the issue of corporate users restricted from installing 3rd party packages...which will not be affected at all by this PEP. --David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
