- bsddb.dbutils
- bz2
BZ2 compression. [more]
import bz2 data = bz2.compress(text) text = bz2.decompress(data) file = bz2.BZFile(filename, "r") text = file.read()
- csv
Tools to read comma-separated files (or variations thereof). [more]
- datetime
Improved date/time types. [more]
- distutils.command.register
Register module in the Python package index (PyPI). This command plugin adds the register command to distutil scripts. [more]

dospath(removed)(Removed in 2.3) os.path support for MS-DOS.
- DocXMLRPCServer
A set of classes for creating self-documenting XML-RPC servers. This module extends the SimpleXMLRPCServer classes with versions that allows the user to access API documentation via an ordinary web browser. The module uses pydoc to create HTML documentation on the fly.
- dummy_thread
- dummy_threading
Helpers to make it easier to write code that use threads where supported, but still runs on Python versions without thread support. The dummy modules simply run the threads sequentially. [more]
- encodings.idna
IDNA codec. This codec can be used to convert between Unicode strings and non-ASCII domain names, encoded as IDNA strings. [more]
- encodings.koi8_u
KOI8-U (Ukranian) codec for Unicode. [more]
- encodings.palmos
PalmOS 3.5 codec for Unicode. [more]
- encodings.punycode
Punycode IDNA codec. This is used to encode individual labels in an IDNA domain name (see encodings.idna). [more]
- encodings.string_escape
Python string escape codec. This encoding replaces non-printable characters with Python-style string escapes. [more]
- heapq
Heap queue (priority queue) helpers. [more]
- hotshot.stones
Helper to run the pystone benchmark under the Hotshot profiler.
- idlelib (package)
Support library for the IDLE development environment.
knee(removed)(Removed in 2.3). Package import demo.
- itertools
Tools to work with iterators and lazy sequences. [more]
- logging (package)
Tools for structured logging.
- logging.config
- logging.handlers
- modulefinder
Tools to find what modules a given Python program uses, without actually running the program.
- olddifflib
Old version of difflib (?)
- opcode
Opcodes used by the CPython interpreter.
- optparse
Improved command-line option parsing library.
- os2emxpath
os.path support for OS/2 EMX.
- pickletools
Tools to analyze and disassemble pickles.
- pkgutil
Tools to extend the module search path for a given package.
- platform
Tools to determine as much information about the underlying platform as possible (operating system type and version, distribution, hardware architecture, etc). May run external processes as part of the analysis.
- sets
A set datatype, based on dictionaries. Supports the usual set operations (intersection, union, membership tests, etc).
- stringprep
Tools and tables for normalization and manipulation of Unicode strings. Used by the idna and punycode codecs.
- tarfile
Tools to read and create TAR files.
- textwrap
Tools to wrap paragraphs of text.
- timeit
Benchmark tool.
- trace
Tools to trace execution of a function or program.
- xml.dom.expatbuilder

- xml.dom.NodeFilter
- xml.dom.xmlbuilder
- zipimport
ZIP archive importer.
