Re: [core-workflow] What would it take to split the stdlib out into its own git repo?

if the repositories get split, I'd much rather have ./python look for ../python-stdlib as a parallel repo. They stand entirely separately; you simply clone both repos into the same directory.

Oh, and if you tell people to do it this way, you can "ln -s ../python-stdlib Lib" and commit that symlink into the repo. Existing code needn't even be changed. When you clone a repo that has submodules, you have to know to run another command to update the submodules. Likewise when you pull changes. Same diff as having two stand-alone repos. Splitting the stdlib is going to make things a little harder no matter how it's done, so it wants to be worthwhile. ChrisA
