You know, I didn't adopt Python because... (Score:2)
... I was told Python fixed all of Perl's faults, but when I looked the module system was banannas, and that was where I most wanted changes. (Don't get me wrong: Perl's system is great as is. I just thought the "innovative" Pythoners would have learned from Perl's "mistakes" and have a really slick system.)

We need an ultraflexible apt-like module install system running over CPAN. Modules need to be self-contained tarbal
