Re: [Python-ideas] itertools recipes: why not add them to the stdlib *somewhere*?

Are you saying the recipes are unsupported?

This is getting ridiculous. I'm not sure what is so controversial about not wanting to scrape up every piece of crap code off the web that some lazy coder can't be bothered to implement contextually and shove them into the _standard library_. Are _you_ seriously saying that every one of those random bits of code _is_ supported? That they will all be kept up to date as the language evolves? That they won't turn into another module that people complain is "stale"? Or another "why tkinter and not <x>" argument? Every inclusion to the library adds overhead to finding and using elements of the library.
