I think an advocacy of 3rd party modules would start with modules such as
ipaddr, requests, regex. Linking directly to them from the python core
documentation, while requesting they hold a successful moratorium in order
to be included in a later standard module release.

Heh, my answer to complaints about the urrlib (etc) APIs being<br>
horrendous in the modern web era is to point out that they were put<br>
together in an age where &quot;web&quot; mostly meant &quot;unauthenticated HTTP \
GET<br> requests&quot;.<br>
<br>
They&#39;re hard to use for modern authentication protocols because they<br>
*predate* widespread use of such things...<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
