I still think it could be a good candidate for a first "bundled" module, where we don't migrate it fully into the CPython development process, but *do* officially bless it and provide it by default in the form of a bundled wheel file (similar to what we do with pip).
How would that work exactly. I.e. is there a PEP? While I think it could be a good idea to bundle (more?) third party packages for a variety of reasons, I want to make sure it's done in a way that's still friendly to downstream repackagers, as I'm sure you do to. :) For Debian/Ubuntu, we already have some additional machinations to make ensurepip and such work properly in a distro packaging environment. We'd want to be able to do the same for any bundled packages as well. Cheers, -Barry
