At the very least, we'll be offering a promise to be "more robust and 
more debugged than what you came up with in that coding marathon last 
night" ;)

Having a decent test suite that is regularly executed on multiple 
platforms (which will be the case for any accepted module by the time it 
is included in a Python release) also places anything we release a cut 
above a *lot* of in-house code.

Cheers,
Nick.
