But I think that's starting to bite Python in the behind as the number
of std library packages increases.  Funny to have so many top level
things in a language whose motto is "Namespaces are one honking great
idea.  Let's do more of those."

Other responsible development organizations that release packages tend
to collect them under a single top level package like "zope.*"  or
"enthought.*".

There's also so many standard packages these days that when I see an
unfamiliar import I'm never sure if it's a standard one or not.
