While python has always been 'batteries included' I think some of the batteries should not have been included. Libraries tend to move more quickly than the language and interpreter/compiler. Tying them together, while convenient, often leads to rot, clunky libraries, slow moving updates, and libraries being build to the interpreter/compiler instead of to the needs of the users. I would like to see instead a somewhat canonical (widely accepted) list of the highest quality libraries for a given set of needs, with information and pro/con/caveats listed for each, instead of them being included in the mainline trunk. I really applaud what Kenneth Reitz has been doing lately. -- a very happy user of the `requests` library
