It still has to be cut down, at least as regards modules implemented in C.

ImportError: No module named decimal on line 1

So, same applies. Adding a bunch of stubs like "decimal.py" to say
"This has a subset of the Python standard library and does not provide
the decimal module" would be useful.

As that one seems to be hosted on github, I'll drop a tracker issue
down there with the suggestion.
