Agreed. Indeed, I think that the first step to start this out is to
discover which libraries currently have a poor implementation, or which
ones should start do be developed ASAP. I could start a list right now,
but I'd probably mention those that I miss in my environment (cvs, etc).
Maybe somebody from the dev team could tell us where to find the
"most requested" ones.

Another nice question is, is it time to move some "well-known" libraries
in the standard set (pil, pynum, etc)!? I'm sorry if this issue has been
discussed before (urls?). I'd like to understand what should and what
shouldn't get in the standard library.

Thanks!
