I'm not sure what criteria should be used for "monopoly" in that
context.

For me, standard library modules that do their one thing well enough
that I don't consider looking elsewhere:

    re
    struct
    unicodedata
    decimal
    random
    logging
    Queue
    urlparse
    email

A shorter list than I expected, now that I come to make it.
