[Python-ideas] Putting `blist` into collections module

[Ram Rachum]

Hi everybody,

In 2007, this PEP was created that suggested integrating Daniel Stutzbach's 
blist into Python: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3128/

The PEP was rejected, but Raymond Hettinger made a note that "after a few 
months, I intend to poll comp.lang.python for BList success stories. If 
they exist, then I have no problem with inclusion in the collections 
module."

I realize that way more than a few months have passed, but I'd still like 
to give my input. I really wish that `blist` would be made available in the 
`collections` module. I'm working on an open-source project right now that 
needs to use it and I'm really reluctant to include `blist` as a 
dependency, given that it would basically mean my package wouldn't be 
pip-installable on Windows machines.


Thanks,
Ram.
