I wonder how hard it would be to port all of the python standard library to java?

Sort of have python.csv.reader, python.csv.DictReader, etc, which all conform as java-ish as possible to http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.3/library/csv.html

The problem of course is that it would probably be some external library like the apache commons stuff and never get integrated into the main library.

And there's still all the old poorly thought out junk still crufting up the standard library.
