I'm sure you know the magical incantation to get that to happen ... 1. Propose it on python-dev. 2. Commit to maintain it in the python core (or alternatively, propose to use the ElementTree maintenance method). 3. Get it accepted by Guido. 4. Do it. If a library isn't put forward for inclusion by the *author*, it won't be included - even if it's obviously best-of-breed. This was the sticking point for ElementTree (until the author found out what was going on and happily put it forward). Tim Delaney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
