I wonder if the solution to this problem wouldn't be a largely improved packaging system and some sort of standardized reviewing process for the standard library.
FYI The work we've started in PEP 376 and PEP 386 (and some elements not formalized in PEPs) is trying to improve the situation. Distutils provides one part of what would be a full packaging system, and this work tries to fill the gap: - uninstall feature - version comparison - extension of metadata (to include dependencies) The plan is to finish this work and provide a basis to build a package manager. (which could be used by the stdlib as well if the packages and modules in there were at the same level than third party packages) Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org | オープンソースはすごい!
