But if anyone wants to argue the "the stdlib should be shrinking, not
growing" position, I suggest they do so *before* someone reaches out
to the module author. No point in us making the suggestion and then
being forced to withdraw it.

So I suppose we can take a poll on this? If majority of us agree then I am happy to reach out to the author since I am the one who started this thread.

Thanks,
Bob

This is a modest proposal to consider having sorted containers
(http://www.grantjenks.com/docs/sortedcontainers/) in standard library.

+1 from me, but if and only if Grant Jenks (its author) wants that too.

It's first-rate code in all respects, including that it's a fine
example _of_ Python programming (it's not written in C - in Python).

Agreed with Tim.  This is a perfect example of some basic and perennial
facility that would fit very well in the stdlib.

I agree as well. Is anyone interested enough to ask the library author
if he supports doing this? That seems to be the main unanswered
question here.

But if anyone wants to argue the "the stdlib should be shrinking, not
growing" position, I suggest they do so *before* someone reaches out
