Hmmm.  I'm currently working on this (at very low priority), so I'll
keep that in mind.

I may have a "basicstats.py" or "simplestats.py" module ready by 2.4. 
If it gets enough functionality, I'll even go ahead and call it
"statistics.py".  I hope to start some further discussion once I get
some other projects out of the way (I also need to talk with current
stats.py module authors/maintainers to avoid duplicate efforts)
