Your opinion and Guido's differ on this point, see:
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0206.html

Here is a relevant quote:

    "The Python source distribution always maintained the philosophy of
    "batteries included" -- having a rich and versatile standard
    library which is immediately available, without making the user
    download separate packages.  This gives the Python language a head
    start in many projects."

Cheers,
Brian
