That, of course, is the consensus view, both in general and with respect to this particular module. The difference is over what constitutes sufficient evidence for your presumption of "robust and debugged" from the point of view of the users of the stdlib.

At the very least, we'll be offering a promise to be "more robust and more debugged than what you came up with in that coding marathon last night" ;)

Having a decent test suite that is regularly executed on multiple platforms (which will be the case for any accepted module by the time it is included in a Python release) also places anything we release a cut above a lot of in-house code.

Cheers, Nick.
