I don't know why you consider it 'garbage', using it myself for this
'contribution', but quoting isn't hard using google groups. Just
clicking the right links instead of the 'reply' link beneath the
message.

On-Topic: I'd welcome PythonWin added to the Python Windows MSI
installer too, for purposes similar to the O-Ps.
Do not possess the necessary skill to write patches, but still voting
in favor.

Something that the other responders seem to have ignored is the
separation of development of the two systems. If Python for Windows were
to bundle win32all then there'd be less chance of Mark Hammond releasing
bugfixes separately from the Python distribution, and he would have to
synchronise his release cycles with those of the Python core.

It can be done (witness the forthcoming introduction of elementtree as a
standard library module), but I see little benefit in this case,
especially as there's little evidence that the majority of Windows
Python users need win32all.

How many people use GG without quoting, annoying plenty of people on
Usenet a day? (Well, the answer is probably less and less since GG is in
general added to quite some kill files).

Yet its well enough hidden for people to use it, or so it seems.
