A collections *package* is a fine idea. I say "package" instead of "module" because there are literally hundreds of container types, and queues and bags are a tiny corner of that space. An example dear to my heart is BTrees (I maintain Zope's BTree implementation), which is a wonderful way to get an associative mapping sorted by key value. BTrees have a large API all by themselves, so it wouldn't make sense to try to squash them into a module along with 50 other container types.
Right. +1 for a package.
I've added this idea to PEP 320 to try to stop it disappearing into the murk... Cheers, mwh -- In short, just business as usual in the wacky world of floating point <wink>. -- Tim Peters, comp.lang.python
