I've definitely found `https://pypi.org/project/bs4/ https://pypi.org/project/bs4/` useful - in Python if you want to use BeautifulSoup (a common package for parsing and manipulating HTML), you import it with `from bs4 import BeautifulSoup`, but you install it with `pip3 install beautifulsoup4`.
In this case, the `bs4` package actually directly installs what you need, though I agree with the arguments in the article why this might not be ideal.
It would be nice if the committees that deal with the language itself could also look after things like this as it's hard to say objectively (main package needs x installs/month?) when something is squatting and when it is useful, but I think a 'common sense' approach goes pretty far.
