The standard library is not much better. There are three ways to load an URL, and a lot of people use neither but a third party library. Add a few more third party tools and you probably have active code paths to all variants throughout your code base. Speaking of third party libraries, you want to install those? Just go with distuils, no setuptools, no distribute, no distutils2, no distlib, no wait distutils again but a new one. I probably even missed a few. It's still my go to language for a lot of things, but I can't help but agree that design goal hasn't aged very well.
