Except that (please correct me if I'm wrong) there is somewhat of a policy for not including interface code for third party programs which are not part of the operating system. (I.e. the modules in the standard libary should all be usable for anyone with a default OS + Python install.) A notable exception is the dbm modules, but I seem to recall hearing that the official position is that it was a mistake. (Now only kept for backward compatability.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
