Coder Who Says Py: The staleness of the standard library and adding new things

Coder Who Says Py: The staleness of the standard library and adding new things: "If you happen to follow certain members of python-dev on Twitter you may have noticed a discussion going on over Zed Shaw's 'Curing Python's Neglect' post about inconsistencies in the language and the standard library, focusing mostly on the latter. This caused some people to say Zed should be lindberg'd (link is currently down) for complaining about the state of Python's standard library without offering solutions. This then led to Zed responding about how there is a double-standard for accepting changes between Python committers and everyone else which has led to crap making it into the standard library."
