Great example of a python module/package following up to date conventions.

You're right.  I was actually wondering if Josh had looked before 
suggesting it. :)  The stdlib varies wildly in quality, with much of it 
not serving as a particular good example of most of the points you 
mentioned.

urllib2 is probably better than a lot, but, for example, even it only 
manages about 75% line coverage by its test suite.
