Object vs module isn't my objection to the standard library status quo, either 
- it's the fact that it's a choice of using one object vs 5 or 6 different 
modules ;)

However, I'm going to have to bow out of this discussion for now, too - it's 
interesting, but Python 2.5 is a lot closer than Python 2.6. . .

Cheers,
Nick.
