You could make the same argument about any module in the stdlib.

Yeah, and that's exactly what I did.

I doubt it. Simple modules are unlikely to develop a following because it is too easy to partially replicate their functionality. urlparse and os.path are very useful modules but I doubt that they would have been successful on PyPI.

Are you saying your proposed module is so simple that anyone can easily replicate it with just a couple of lines of code?

The good news in this case is that the same API has been used successfully in Java and C++ for years so it is unlikely that any major changes will need to be made.

Good. Then the time it takes to "mature" on PyPI would be very short.
