New PEP: Quality Guidelines For Standard Modules

[Roman Suzi]

There could be even use of some special __-word to
stress that the module is standard:

__distribution__
or
__belongs__

And probably standard modules need to clean-up unused
names after they done, so there will be no other
standard modules in the module namespace like in this situation:

>>> import uu
>>> uu.
uu.Error     uu.__doc__   uu.__name__  uu.decode    uu.os        uu.test
uu.__all__   uu.__file__  uu.binascii  uu.encode    uu.sys

uu.sys is the same sys here!

Also maybe standard modules need to have __all__ to explicitely
mention their interface (or we'll wait for interface PEP
to be adopted?)

Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
