First of all, numeric/numarray, obviously! I'd also like to see wxPython, pygame and SciPy, but these may be too heavy-weight. A good distribution system for widely used packages may be a better solution than including everything in the standard library. > For my part, ctypes seems like a suggestion to start with. I think ctypes simply *must* go in there sooner later. My experience dealing with binary data in Python is that it's a pain in the neck compared to C, and the more machine-like behaviour and elegant code you want, the slower it gets. I have refrained from using ctypes for a number of reasons, but I would probably use it if it was in the standard library. -- Fredrik Johansson -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
