That and the fuckton of libraries.
I read this wrong or are you talking about FIOC? Because that fucking piece of shit doesn't even have a library for handling images (you know, reading a image, drawing a few lines or some text over it, resizing it, saving it...)
And no, PIL doesn't count, it is separate and sorta abandoned.
Heck, they even removed SGMLParser in 3.0, fucking Beautiful Soup in the process.
