I now recall why setup.py deletes modules that cannot be imported: If they would be left there, the test cases would fail with the ImportError. People had been complaining that they get testsuite failures, so we changed setup.py to remove the modules which clearly don't work.
Huh? ImportErrors cause skips, not failures ... don't they? Cheers, M. -- incidentally, asking why things are "left out of the language" is a good sign that the asker is fairly clueless. -- Erik Naggum, comp.lang.lisp
