+1 on that. I've been using Python for a decade now, and the first third 
party library I've downloaded and used was Pyparsing a month or two 
ago. I'll be the first to admit that my programs tend to be on the 
small size, but they're useful to me. The lack of third party libraries 
to Python 3 is not necessarily a show-stopper.
