I agree about pymacadmin - if it is a python module, the py part is
redundant.  I'd be happy with macadmin or madmin (others off the top of my
head: macsystools, mactools)

I forgot to address this.

I really just dislike general purpose names altogether, and would
rather see us come up with several decent modules that are targeted at
certain functionality rather than bundling everything into a
macadmin/madmin/mactools module.

This is somewhat orthogonal to this discussion as far as getting a
packageable version of crankd out there for people.

I agree - I see it having the following benefits:

1) Easier to develop and then contribute modules independently

2) Clearer to use in code - import only what you need

I think the only downside is the duplication of shared utility routines - but I don't think that applies here so much, and if it comes up, could be factored into its own util module
