For those of us that operate in environments where every new piece of software has to go through contracts review to ensure that we can both license it for our own purposes and also subsequently transfer those licenses to our customers, having things in the standard library is a *huge* benefit. This is the usual batteries included vs better packaging argument. For developers in an environment where adding new packages is a low overhead operation, adding something to the stdlib isn't a big gain for them while better packaging tools are awesome. For others (including me), the actual package installation is the least of our hassles and anything that helps us avoid dealing with the lawyers is a big gain. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
