Object vs module isn't my objection to the standard library status quo, either
- it's the fact that it's a choice of using one object vs 5 or 6 different
modules ;)
However, I'm going to have to bow out of this discussion for now, too - it's
interesting, but Python 2.5 is a lot closer than Python 2.6. . .
Cheers,
