Also, I know it is often said that Python has "batteries included". However, in my experience the "batteries" are often inadequate for the job. Many modules are incomplete, or otherwise like some key functionality. I have had to extend and/or rewrite many of the "stock" libraries over the past few years. I would like to fold my additions back into the core, if possible.

I think improving existing library modules is a much less contentious issue than adding new ones...
