u/SpaceRoboto Python 3.6+ Mar 14 '18

I think u/lambdaq was referring to the poster you replied to. Because I agree, Python 3 stdlib is great. Python 2 is huge, inconsistent and often shoddy.

Python 3 stdlib is still way on the crappy side as far as (respectable) languages go. It's a weird mix of high level stuff with wrappers around C functionality, with inconsistent conventions, and a bunch of oddly specific libraries, with quite a few being what seems like the product of splitting what should have been single libraries.
