Certainly I think basic tagging support for the Python Cookbook will 
help over the static set of categories in use now.

It is a valid point, tho. This is a common problem for all sites that 
use free-form tagging for categorization. My (limited) experience is 
that some popular tags eventually coalesce -- i.e. people settle on one 
tag name for one kind of thing.

Full-text search is, obviously, that partner to this that can help with 
finding what you are looking for. For example, I would expect that the 
vast majority of recipes dealing with PyWin32 would have the words 
"Python", "Windows" and maybe "win32" in them so a search on those words 
would tend to hit the recipes you are looking for.
