They were both pretty much the only games in town when they were included
with Python.  If they were developed in today's environment I doubt they
would be included.

So every time some lame ass PHP refugee gripes about something they think
Python is missing which PHP includes we should scan the horizon for all the
candidates and toss them in the next release?
