Ignoring for a moment that "one obvious way" only applies to 
Python-the-language, when it comes to libraries, there's a few factors 
(IMO) that affect this:

1. Some people find it easier to write something from scratch that read 
docs for an existing product.

2. It's easier to reimplement an existing concept than come up with 
something new.

This is actually a good thing, though, as monocultures die. Just chalk 
it up to evolutionary pressure :)
