[Python-Dev] standard libraries don't behave like standard 'libraries'

I don't know if you have used
Dev-C++<http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/index.html%20>. It has a 'package
management' mechanism for the standard libraries.
please see the http://devpaks.org/ webpage where all the packaged libraries
are stored.

In python we have the PyPI which is equivalent to the
http://devpacks.orgbut in PyPI the packages are all user made
applications.
What I want is similar to PyPI but for the python standard libraries, so
that they (libraries) are as add-on as possible.

I guess you understand what I am thinking... and do pardon my english too..
