Another point:

While the standard Library does provide a pretty good set of
"batteries", it most certainly doesn't provide al lthe accessories you
might need. If you limit yourself to standard libraries, you are
limiting yourself a GREAT deal. My current major project uses:

Python 
Numeric
PIL
wxPython
mxDateTime

These are all pretty commonly used, and I simply could not write all
that myself. While I'd love to see mxDateTime and Numeric join the
standard library, I'm not at all sure wxPython or PIL should, but I'll
still want to use them.
