I'm still of the opinion that both approaches are trying to solve a problem that's too niche to merit them, BTW.
That doesn't make sense to me. You think my little library shouldn't be allowed on PyPI? I don't force the couple classes on anyone, but if they happen to help someone (or PyMaybe, or some other library, does) they don't change anything about Python itself. Syntax is a very different matter.
I have no objection to anyone putting anything on PyPI. Putting it (or an equivalent) in the standard library is much more problematical, and you were talking about that. I think your little library is a much richer source of bugs than you think it is, and dealing with messy data access isn't a good enough reason to put that much temptation in front of naive users. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd
