And here you reveal you have no idea whatsoever of what "professional" programmers do. In my workplace, we are each working on multiple projects simultaneously, which will often require different versions of the same libraries. How do I shove 2 versions of the same Python library into this monolithic folder? Since you're so fond of absolute declarations that will benefit the Python community, here's on for you: I've seen many times people responding to Rick as if he held legitimate opinions and I believe I should define the situations in which you should and shouldn't listen to him. Is he talking about Tkinter? If not, he's talking garbage. If so, *and* he's including code examples, then assess what he's saying carefully and just ignore any pointless rhetoric. He has NO suggestions that would improve Python as a whole because he's coming from a place of theoretical-point-scoring over *pragmatic and tested change*. If he was so keen on these suggestions of his, there are a myriad of ways in which he could contribute back - patches, pypi libraries, code samples - rather than rant and rant and *rant* without producing anything. No one is going to redefine the entire language of computer science on the say so of one annoying idiot. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
