There's a thread going on on the Python-3000 list about PEP 3108, which proposes a clean-up/re-org for the standard library.
I've suggested that, analogous to the "email" package, a "web" package be created, and most (all?) of the web-related modules be moved under it. This is also a chance to remove cruft and combine related modules (urllib.py and urllib2.py, for instance). To take another example, should BaseHTTPServer and SimpleHTTPServer both exist? Shouldn't SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler just be another class defined in BaseHTTPServer? Or should SimpleHTTPServer just be deleted altogether?
