Ok, that's at least half the fault of the library developers.

I *have* always been very suspicious of third-party libraries and
platforms. The comes-with-batteries approach has been enough for my
needs.

Maybe. I'm not afraid of the Python 3 transition, but it's not current
yet. I'm running a Python 3 application at home. At work, Python 2.3 is
the version in one environment, Python 2.6 in another. When Python 3.x
becomes the least common denominator, we'll build on that. Some other
teams have already made the jump.
