That applies to Perl, Python, Java and probably most major languages.
I do not know about you, but I do not want to be writing everything
from scratch and language developers have better things to do than
implementing a dozen (or more) major libraries like lxml and xlwt 
just to name a few.

For that matter, I do not think mysqldb is a built-in Python package.
