A bit harsh to put it that way, but yeah, the language is growing, as most 
languages tend to do.  It would be nice to see it shrink sometime, although 
that would have its own set of drawbacks, like breaking backward compatibility. 
  Maybe in Python 3.0...

Python's standard library hasn't quite reached the size of Java's, though.

Hmm, everything else being equal, I'd much rather see a new module than yet 
another addition to the syntax.
