In fact, it almost seems like it is the opposite. There exist better third party modules and packages of most functionality in the standard library. The only examples I can think of that seem to have a "monopoly" is subprocess, decimal, thread and pickle. Are there any more? Maybe when ElementTree joins the stdlib it will also have a monopoly on DOM parsers. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
