Having package manager(s) in Python doesn't make single module 
Python projects less popular or less appreciated. Most Python 
projects are very small, thanks to both standard library and code 
succinctness (that allows a small program to do a lot), and the 
presence of an healthy ecology of third party modules that you 
can import to avoid re-writing things already done by other 
people. All this should become more common in the D world :-)

Both are very old, and I am not sure, but I think the main module 
idiom is precedent.
