I hadn't thought about making world a module, but if others agree, I
can play a little CVS magic to move the file to world.py.

If you do a `cvs up -P' (-P for prune) you'll find that that directory
goes away.  At one point I started to add the ht2html scripts to the
Python tools, but then we decided not to.  Unfortunately, once a
directory's been added to CVS it can never be removed (hence -P).

If you're really interested in the ht2html scripts, which are used to
build the Python.Org and JPython.Org sites (as well as my personal
pages), please see
