Hi!
We have prepared a PEP that aims to standardize and improve what Fedora
and other distributions have been doing for a while, that is splitting
parts of Python's standard library to separate optional packages.
Feedback is welcome:
https://fedora-python.github.io/pep-drafts/pep-A.html
Abstract
Python is sometimes being distributed without its full standard library.
However, there is as of yet no standardized way of dealing with
importing a missing standard library module. This PEP proposes a
mechanism for identifying which standard library modules are missing and
puts forth a method of how attempts to import a missing standard library
module should be handled.
I'm leaving for PTO lasting till November 17th, after which we want to
send this to the PEP editors upstream.
Yours aye,
Tomas Orsava
