How come that nobody contacted me about FS> the GetPot package ? How come you didn't contact us about the GetPot package? The discussion in February began when Greg Ward proposed Optik as a standard Python module. Guido suggested that there be a general call on the python lists: If there were competing options packages, would people let us know about them. I had never heard of GetPot until I received your mail. (And if I had heard of it, I would have guessed it was illegal except for medical purposes <wink>.) So: There was general consensus that Optik should be added to the standard library. Is there a reason to include GetPot instead of Optik? Procedural issue: The (L)GPL license is unacceptable for standard library modules. I'm sure there are technical issues. Jeremy
