How do you draw line between what is data structure and what is pattern ?

Do you have any ideas on how to represent "patterns" in
python standard library ?

By a set of samples ?

By (a set of) classes realising the patterns ?

By a set of functions working on existing structures which
implement the pattern ?

Duck-typing should lend itself well to this last approach.

Do we currently have any modules in standard library which are
more patterns and less data structures ?
