Sorry to pile-on on the disagreements, but I also try to keep my scripts as external dependency-free as possible (at the expense of reinventing the wheel a bit) so that I minimize supply-chain attacks, and to keep things as future-proof as possible. For that, some of the included libraries really ease the pain of having to reinvent things like text-wrapping, special cases when iterating over things, creating TUIs, etc. The more you read the docs, the more you appreciate the thought and effort of the Python developers in making things useful and convenient for everyone.
