You neglected to explain what the module was about or why it's necessary. So I had to download the tarball and then try to visit a website to find out things like the license, etc (since the website wasn't responding, I don't know that, still, but it turned out to be moot, since I don't think this is really a candidate for inclusion). It's a single file you're talking about that seems to implement an RPC-over-JSON view, from what I can work out. I also think you slightly misunderstand the usage of django/contrib/ -- it's for self-contained applications, not single utility file. We don't use contrib/ like some older-style projects where it becomes a dumping ground for lots of externally contributed stuff. > they're important enough Not at all clear and I would take issue with the claim. The class is implementing RPC. Django tends to favour more REST-like development (we're hardly alone in that respect), for a start. Not really a use-case that is preventing development with Django. However, Django doesn't enforce any kind of REST architecture in applications (obviously) and RPC is certainly possible, but it's also easy enough that I don't see people being held back by the lack of inclusion of a class like this. > and small enough to be included in django by > default, and the code definitely adds value to django. Given that it's only a single file, why can't the few people who want to do RPC work just download that particular file, if that's their preferred implementation? Or even just include it in their applicaiton that relies on RPC? I'm a fairly strong -1 on including *any* RPC library in Django itself, since there's really no need and it tends to go against the "best practices" grain a bit (thereby not adding value).
