+1 here, too; just as /f said, the only real issue is time (as in, is
it too late to get such a package into 2.5), but with the volunteering
I've seen that should be feasible.

I just hope we get a BDFL +1 soon so I can add the good news to the
2nd ed of "Python in a Nutshell", which is due to go "printers-wards"
about 8-9 days from now (in order to be ready for OSCON -- the times
from final text version to paper are NOT brief:-).
