site.py completes the module search path (sys.path), adding the  
site-packages directory, processing .pth files, and other per-site and  
per-user configurations. Also, configures some options in the interactive  
interpreter (processing PYTHONSTARTUP, enabling interactive help()  
support, and the builtin quit/exit/license/credit/copyright functions)

Disabling site.py (and cropping the standard library) only makes sense for  
an embedded interpreter - a "normal" installation, for "general" usage,  
should be complete IMHO.
