In general, this reminds me of the ipaddr discussions. I read through the thread from March real quick to see if there was reasoning there why this package should be an exception from the "normal" standards track (that is, ripen on PyPI, then moving it in the stdlib when it's mature -- where "mature" is another word for dead, really).
I disagree that a stdlib module is a dead module. It is perfectly possible to augment the API with new functionality without breaking compatibility. You can also deprecate old APIs if you want.

Antoine.
