Are there any Python-only modules or packages in the latest releases

not seem to be true most of the time, as far as I can tell.
I'm interested in reading this code as prime examplars of "Pythonicity".
(I'm sure that many other programmers could serve as models of the
Pythonic ideal, but I doubt that there would be a *less debatable*
choice in this category than GvR.)
Many thanks in advance,

So the poor old BDFL has been reduced to the rank of language
maintainer. Is it safe to assume that somebody is organising a whip
round for him? Any and all currencies accepted?
