I think that having a package level that exactly matches the divisions
in the Library Reference (http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html) would
be great.  Currently, that would mean packages for:

3. Python Runtime Services
4. String Services
5. Miscellaneous Services
6. Generic Operating System Services
7. Optional Operating System Services
8. Unix Specific Services
9. The Python Debugger
10. The Python Profiler
11. Internet Protocols and Support
12. Internet Data Handling
13. Structured Markup Processing Tools
14. Multimedia Services
15. Cryptographic Services
16. Graphical User Interfaces with Tk
17. Restricted Execution
18. Python Language Services
19. Python compiler package
20. SGI IRIX Specific Services
21. SunOS Specific Services
22. MS Windows Specific Services

So we should first determine what's wrong (if anything) with the list
above, and fix it.  From there we can decide what else needs to be
done.
