Welcome Tim.
The stock answer to the CPAN equivalent question is that Python comes
with a lot more included as standard. You really do need to browse the
Library Reference Docs.
  http://docs.python.org/lib/

You might also want to take a look at this page on the wiki:
  http://wiki.python.org/moin/PerlPhrasebook

Of course, this is as well as going through whatever Python tutorial
you are following.

Have fun,
