No, I meant "cleaning up the standard library in spite of incompatibilities" was one of the goals of Python3 (PEP 3108). Personally I don't see anything wrong with the modules, but that was my question to the person who said they should all be integrated but wasn't because of incompatibilities. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
