Available as 3rd party downloads:
XML,HTML,...
HTTP,FTP,SMTP,POP,IMAP/...
MD5,SHA,...
zip,bzip,...
and so on and so on and so on.
Remove them all just because they are available as 3rd party downloads?
No, they should not be removed because they don't cause any damage, very bad
damage as Tkinter does.
The "Batteries included" of Python is just *great* and I vote for *more*
not less batteries!
Well, in that case, why don't you agree to also include WxPython in the
Python package?
And one more thing. Not all the Python programmers create desktop apps so
a GUI lib is useless. Some of them use Python only for web programming or
only for system administration.
Not all Python programmers do web programming, so please remove the
useless HTML junk too.
Why do you call it "html junk"?
Almost every beginner wants to do GUIs or at least some graphic stuff.
Removing the GUI module from the stdlib would be plain wrong IMHO. But I
don't understand the whole issue anyway. It isn't that you need to fire up
your torrent client and wait 48 hours for the Python download to complete.
Why remove useful (to many, not most) stuff from the lib?
Yes it can be useful for some people, but why promote it instead of
promoting a better library for beginners?
