Parts of it, yes. Just like I can replace most operations in os.path and urlparse with a few lines of code.

Yeah, but "parts of" is not the question. I've read the PEP, and I do not know how to implement it. That means it's not a trivial module, so that argument doesn't hold up here, even if we accept it as valid (which I actually don't). I don't think any module in the stdlib is entirely trivial. Yes, even parsing an URL is non-trivial, as shown by the fact that the urlparse module apparently has a bug in it for urls like svn+ssh://foo.bar/frotz. ;-)

Also, even trivial modules can be useful if you use them a lot.

How would you define "very short"?

That's not up to me to decide.
