Hi everybody,
In 2007, this PEP was created that suggested integrating Daniel Stutzbach's blist into Python: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3128/
The PEP was rejected, but Raymond Hettinger made a note that "after a few months, I intend to poll comp.lang.python for BList success stories. If they exist, then I have no problem with inclusion in the collections module."
I realize that way more than a few months have passed, but I'd still like to give my input. I really wish that `blist` would be made available in the `collections` module. I'm working on an open-source project right now that needs to use it and I'm really reluctant to include `blist` as a dependency, given that it would basically me an my package wouldn't be pip-installable on Windows machines.
Thanks, Ram.
I think we need one PEP that says "let's include everything from pypi in the stdlib". Pros - saves writing and reiewing lots of PEPs. Cons - maintainance of Python is made fractionally more difficult. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language. Mark Lawrence
