As for process issues...I agree that we need better procedures and criteria for what goes into the library.
For a start, my current understanding is:
- Adding a module to the standard library is a big change. - Modifying a core type or the interpreter loop is a big change. - Breaking compatibility is a big change. - Any big change requires confirmation specifically from Guido.
I was pretty surprised to see compilerlike.py go in. Even if i had seen +1s from everyone else on python-dev, i still wouldn't have been comfortable checking it in without hearing from the BDFL.
