How's going on advancement status of standard library / package index? ( or is there a push in the works? ) remember seeing a package manager tool of AutoHotkey years ago, the number of packages included at that time was still relatively small, and now I cannot find it.
I've just been using PyPi, and once again impressed by super convenience of PyPi and pip, and cant help think of AutoHotkey, so curious if there's any news / movement on lib index and manager for AutoHotkey?
Advancement status of standard library / package index?

(ASPDM - AHKScript.org's Package/StdLib Distribution and Management)
Seems like this was partially a victim of the website battle years ago, where which website the AHK community would use was undetermined. There was some new initiatives started back then, but not sure what exactly happened.
At present, a good library collection is by Lxiko.

Maybe something similar to ASPDM could be done, but using the Lxiko collection. Part of the issue would be making it official and part of the installer.
I think we should kind of keep Python separate from the issue. It's a different culture, purpose, circumstance, and language. Better to focus on what is good for the AHK community, versus compare apples and oranges, but that's just my opinion about it.PyPi and pip...
