If I write some Python code, I KNOW that there are about 100 modules (including some pretty esoteric stuff see http://docs.python.org/modindex.html) that are GUARANTEED to be available at any destination which has Python included. The guaranteed availablity of huge variety of modules is something I really miss in O'Caml, and thats on top of the fact that even the standard modules have missing components like I pointed out in the my earlier email in this thread.
