And we're not discussing those languages, we're discussing Python, which has an explicit policy of "batteries included". As such, criticism of the standard library is perfectly acceptable under the name "Python", whether you like it or not. Besides, it's inevitable anyway. "Batteries included"? Python doesn't follow this policy at all. We can say that maybe PHP follows it, but not Python. And if this is the wanted policy, why should it be "cheap batteries included" and not "strong batteries included"? Octavian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
