I'm not sure why, but your message (sent April 21 around 15:40 UTC) didn't make it to the python-dev list as addressed. Typically, a new module first has to prove itself in the real world before being accepted into the standard library, especially for a module replacing existing functionality. It's usually easier to accept additions/improvements to existing modules (i.e. patches) than replacement modules. I suggest you put the module (along with docs and the test suite) up on the web and make an announcement on python-announce. Then try to generate community support. In any case, if you'd like to write a PEP for it, please read through PEP 1 and PEP 2. -- David Goodger <http://starship.python.net/~goodger> Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) Editor <http://www.python.org/peps/> (Please cc: all PEP correspondence to <peps at python.org>.)
