org.python.stdlib, surely? <wink>

I don't have a problem with reorganising the standard library, but 
what's the motivation for moving everything under a new root? Is it 
just to allow people to unambigiously get hold of something from the 
stdlib, rather than following the normal search path? Doesn't the 
absolute/relative import PEP solve this problem?

And what does 'from py import *' do, anyway?
