I think there are 3 main candidates that could fit that bill:
- requests - setuptools - regex
Actually, I think pkg_resources would make an excellent candidate. The setuptools crew is working on a branch that would allow for setuptools and pkg_resources to be split, which would be great for other reasons. Splitting them may mean that pkg_resources could eventually be added to the stdlib, but as an intermediate step, it could also test out this idea. It probably has a lot less of the baggage that you outline. Cheers, -Barry
