Automatic download/install in python
It would be really nice to have a way to automatically download a module from PyPI or whatever and install it on the current machine. Whatever it is should take version numbers and so on into account. Ah... wishful thinking.

OpenP2P.com: In-Room Chat as a Social Tool
OpenP2P.com: In-Room Chat as a Social Tool: "There were two bits of organizational structure that also helped shape the meeting. The first was our adoption of Jerry Michalski's marvelous 'Red Card/Green Card' system, where participants were given a set of colored cards about 20 cm square in three colors, red, green, and gray. The cards were used to make explicit but non-verbal commentary on what was being said at the time. A green card indicates strong assent, red strong dissent, and gray confusion."

This article points out that you cannot do ACID transactions that last a long period of time. But what if you had a series of smaller ACID transactions that were encapsulated in larger ones all the way up to the least granular level. Of course, you would need to provide an extra aspect: resolution. The rollback/commit tragedy is that you must do one or the other but not both. It would be nice to have a mode where instead of doing either you have a third way to deal with transactions.... or maybe I'm just crazy for thinking it could be done....
