But I've seen this sort of crap in all sorts of "standard" lib's in Python, and it never seems to get cleaned-up... ... I really hate having to use Python.

  Every language and library has its warts and Python is no exception. By and large though, I'd say that Python's standard library is the best part of the language. Sure there are a lot of things like this out there, but for the most part, the standard library "just works" the way it's supposed to.

    Thank you. This is the wonderful thing about opensource - you can fix it if its broken - its the price you pay for getting it for nothing.

      That's not a price, it's an additional benefit.
