Python has PEP to extend the base system including the standard library. Maybe it should go through that instead of being third party code in some "repository"?

The closed source market of (say) third party win32 controls (GUI widgets) is also messy - just look at how many calendar widgets are out there, but nobody complains there. That's "market forces at work" ;-)
- maxerickson 12y agoStuff like adding a single function to a library doesn't warrant the PEP process. Fixing this is moving forward: http://bugs.python.org/issue15873 http://bugs.python.org/issue15873 (Perhaps it's fair to say, slowly moving forward)
- Animats 12y agoAh, yes, I put that issue into the tracker two years ago.
