I vote against it. Not that I am against mxTools - it is perfect
|
||
|
|
library, really.

There is always some need for something more. Do you really want to
|
||
|
|
include every bit of code into the Library? It would take infinite time to
|
||
|
|
download and compile Python distribution if all possible modules and
|
||
|
|
extensions come in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I want to keep the Library as little as possible. Download, compile and
|
||
|
|
install only those extensions you need.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
