[Python-Dev] PEP 594 -- Bundling libraries? (original) (raw)

When removing libraries from stdlib, can we bundle removed libraries and install it like ensurepip does?

Ruby does similar thing, called "Gemification". See https://rubykaigi.org/2017/presentations/hsbt.html

When people don't use venv, scripts importing nntplib or aifc runs correctly.

When people use venv, they need to pip install nntplib (we may be able to use PyPI's namespace beta feature here). But I assume pip install is not a problem for people using venv.
