Not really, that's why I suggested one of the fields in the table would be the standard library name - people should always be able to use that to find the appropriate package for their distribution (if there is one, otherwise they'll need to compile from source). > And you would need tables showing which libraires are required for > which Python features: tkinter is optional, crypto is optional (or at > least used to be), etc. That's a good idea - that would make the simple table have 4 columns: name, deb, rpm, python module (or "essential"). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
