Just a side note: As I recall Guido is not willing to include all these third party tools to the core distribution, but rather to a SUMO Python distribution, which then includes Python + all those nice goodies available to the Python Community.

Yes, that's correct.

Maintaining this SUMO distribution should, IMHO, be left to a commercial entity like e.g. ActiveState or BeOpen to insure quality and robustness -- this is not an easy job, believe me.

Well, I'm hoping that distutils will make this easier.

Perhaps you ought to retarget you PEP206, Moshe ?!

I'm sorry -- I'm too foolhardy.
