That will probably never happen. "pip install XXX" is the best we (python-dev and the community) can do. "import some_module" won't magically start fetching some_module from PyPI if it isn't installed on your system. So the bottom line is: we would benefit from an intermediate status between "available on PyPI" and "shipped as a stable API in the stdlib". The __preview__ proposal does just that in an useful way; are there any alternatives you'd like to suggest?
