I wonder if it would be possible/necessary for the stdlib to include a set of libraries marked as "featured". Not like "provisional" but more like "You should use this one and be aware that it may upgrade faster than normal stdlib modules".
Basically like a "pull module". Just a third-party module pulled from the source and upgraded with each Python version. That would maintain the maintainers flexibility and the increase the availability of these "defacto stdlib" modules.
+1.
It is a different thing to find a random module on PyPI and depend on it, than to depend on something that is ~officially recommended. Or maybe some kind of package reputation system on PyPI? More threads? :)
Been discussed a few times previously (look for things like "sumo distribution", "breaking out the stdlib", "recommended packages"). So yes, again, should be a new thread and should also start with a bit of research into previous discussions. Paul
