I've been thinking that the lib directory could be better named and rearranged a bit. I sometimes mistakenly open the libs directory instead of lib because of the name similarity. An alternative might be to use the name "packs" or "packages" in place of "lib", which would emphasize the use of packages as the primary method of extending python. The standard library could then be a package called "stdlib" within this directory. Third party packages would then be along side "stdlib" and not within a directory that is within the standard library. It would be mostly a cosmetic change, but I believe it would be worth doing if it could be done without breaking programs that may have hard coded path references to the library. :-/ Ron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
