Keep it, but put better documentation. It's needed.

There are many a useful package outside of the standard library. If this is genuinely useful in some specialist use cases then I'm sure the code will find its way to a github repo and be maintained as a standalone package in itself. Who knows, being outside of the stdlib might breathe a new lease of life into the concept if the release cycles are not bound to Python releases.

Personally, I'd say delete it, unless there is a good reason not to. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20130813/4cae4958/attachment.html>
