Earlier in the thread, we were pointed to multiple implementations.
Is this particular one clearly the “best”[*]?
If so, then sure.
-CHB
[*] best meaning “most appropriate for the stdlib”. A couple folks have already pointed to the quality of the code. But my understanding is that different algorithms are more or less appropriate for different use cases. So is this one fairly “universal”?

This is a modest proposal to consider having sorted containers (http://www.grantjenks.com/docs/sortedcontainers/) in standard
library.
+1 from me, but if and only if Grant Jenks (its author) wants that too.
It's first-rate code in all respects, including that it's a fine example _of_ Python programming (it's not written in C - in Python).
Agreed with Tim. This is a perfect example of some basic and perennial facility that would fit very well in the stdlib.
I agree as well. Is anyone interested enough to ask the library author if he supports doing this? That seems to be the main unanswered question here.
But if anyone wants to argue the "the stdlib should be shrinking, not growing" position, I suggest they do so *before* someone reaches out to the module author. No point in us making the suggestion and then being forced to withdraw it.
