If we're going to lean more on PyPI, it would be nice to clean it up some. There's a lot of cruft that makes it very hard to find the right module to use to write a new project with. And it would be nice if package naming convention were more standard, and suggested extending existing modules rather than writing entirely new ones. If you want HTTP functionality, you use the "requests" package, which uses urllib3. Why not io::net::http::client, extending io::net::http, and so on?


Well, that sounds like the package names (and namespaces) that the Perl 5 community have landed on with CPAN modules :)
