Yeah, but "parts of" is not the question. I've read the PEP, and I do
*not* know how to implement it. That means it's not a trivial m

I'm inclined to agree. This needs to be field-tested before
being considered for stdlib inclusion.

That doesn't follow. An API that's appropriate for Java or

I don't think it needs a particularly large following.
What it does need is at least a few people using it in
some real projects.

Before I go and add about 30 open issues to the Python tracker, I
figured I should ask. What's the normal process for the bug trackers
of modules that move to the standard library? I have a few feature
requests, etc. for argparse, and I was planning to just copy them over
to the Python bug tracker
