Not enough Python library development [was PEP scepticism]

[Emile van Sebille]

Paul,

This is very cool!  Thanks.

What are the criteria for including a group in here?  How often are they
updated?

In particular, it looks like you've got most of the Python, Zope and
ActiveState groups, but I note several MIAs, eg: pybsddb, ZODB, wxPython,
etc.  I see you've even got the newly created PythonCard group in there.
