I fear that this will only happen when our loved BDFL blesses one
interface, either directly or indirectly (by delegating, and somehow
enforcing a PEP written by others). Barring that there will always be
some level of disagreement, and semi incompatible drivers will stil
lbe the norm.

(I have echoed similar thoughts on AMK's blog a few days ago,
regarding his call for a focus on the standard library for the
upcoming Python release. For some things, there will _never_ be a real
consensus, unless someone with _real_ power puts an end to the
discussion. Period).

I don't know. I thought that Godwin's law (spelled with one 'o' only,
I think) when applied to python-list involved either linguistics or
aesthethical discussions :-)
