: What are the plans to merge this into Python's repository so we can all help out on this?
None at the moment. I think the community needs to show its interest in it and Joe his willingness to maintain it in the future in order for it to qualify for addition to the stdlib.
As Jesse said, at the language summit there was serious interest.
I don't see why having it merged into Python's repo is a requirement for contribution, since he's using Mecurial. :)
Just because it's in Mercurial does not mean that Joe can't hold up patches to apply to the main branch. If we all start forking it to fix things and Joe ends up falling behind because of school, life, etc. this could kill the project. But I am willing to wait for now in hopes that doesn't happen. -Brett
