Perhaps a wiki page somewhere could list all the issues people have with
the current stdlib ?

For example, one common annoyance IMO is naming: why "urllib" or
"httplib"? If I import something, it's obvious it's a lib, so "import
http" would seem sufficient. There are also inconsistencies in casing
("StringIO, "cPickle", etc.), unnecessary distinctions ("thread" vs.
"threading")...
