Wow, this is cool. Kenneth has started to identify and call out other libraries that are "barriers to entry" in Python. If this is a call to arms to scale the Requests experience, it could grow into something really powerful - a movement to systematically reinvent and rejuvenate the Python standard library.

  While not a table of "stdlib package => 3rd party package", there is this: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest [ Also by Kenneth Reitz ]

      Sorry. Looks like the trailing slash was omitted when I copy-pasted that from the location bar. ^^;;

        That does seem to be the problem. But that seems wrong?

  I'm of the leads on that project. We're working on upgrading the code base to support all of Python, and hope to have that ready by PyCon US.
