I don't know how you can say this. The standard lib isn't even very pythonic, let alone "great" along other dimensions.

- blattimwind 8y agoAgreed. Almost every time I've looked deeply into stdlib code I was surprised by how hard to follow it is and how frequently antipatterns are employed. Doubly so for anything near a C module. I consider the Python stdlib in a similar vein as the C++ stdlib or Boost: Yes, some useful bits in there, but (1) lots of rot (2) you don't want to have your code look anything like it.
