If you have a competitive library, or suggestions for changes to Optik,
please forward your comments to python-dev mailing list
(python-dev@python.org). If a long-running conversation ensues, you may
need to join the list to participate. Discussions in comp.lang.python
will not be considered unless you at least forward a reference to
python-dev. If you propose a competitor to Optik, please describe how it
compares to the feature list described above.
