I was just wondering if it ever made sense to simply include it in the base python, perhaps as a second executable with a name like pythonn to signify that it is more numeric. So if you run that, you know you do not need to add an assortment of modules. I keep seeing programs that just automatically add numpy and pandas and various graphic modules and other scientific and machine learning modules. Of course not everyone needs or even wants this. Many simply use base Python techniques even if they are low for larger amounts of data.

How would that be different from getting one of the numeric/scientific
distributions of Python? Why should it be a different Python
executable?!?
