If we want a "guaranteed-stdlib" package form, we should probably have a top-level package, "std" or whatever.

py.

That notion has, I believe, been shot down before (no time to look up references now).

Mr Van Rossum has spoken against it many times.

Now I think - if we don't want a separate Python's top-level namespace may be we should think about a separate top-level non-Python's (3rd parties') namespace? With it we could have database.sqlite (Python's sqlite) and user.database.sqlite (a newer version); and by doing import database.sqlite you know exactly what version you are importing.

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
