Very true. In fact, Twisted comes to the rescue again here. When I needed to test Mailman's NNTP integration I could either spend several weeks figuring out how to install and configure some traditional NNTP server, or I could just install Twisted and run exactly three commands (one of which was "sudo" :).

Once the "Python egg" and PyPI improve and start widespread use perhaps the question of what is in the core library and what is not will become moot.

Indeed.

Being a Gentoo Linux user I already enjoy having many modules available, with automatic dependency installation, on demand. So the idea of "core" library is already blurred for me.

Although I'm doing a lot more dev on the Mac these days, I definitely agree that this is what makes Gentoo so cool for Linux, and I can't wait for Gentoo-on-OSX to switch to doing things the Right Way (can you say bye-bye DarwinPorts?).
