All of the standard library is useful to *somebody*. If you tell us what 
you want to do, we'll tell us which parts will be useful to you.

You can start by reading, or at least skimming, the docs:

# For Python 2:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/index.html

# For Python 3:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html

You can also read the Python Module Of the Week:
