-1. We have had too much trouble with externally-maintained modules such as elementtree and json. The Python SVN (or hg) tree should be the primary place where development takes place.
New releases could also be cut from the Python tree. I believe everyone here agrees that entering the standard library in any form should imply a greater sense of collective ownership of a package. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org
