Answer 1

Now there is a 3rd party package for this. It scrapes the TOC of the Standard Library page in the official Python docs and builds a list.

You can install it using pip

pip install stdlib_list

and got get a list of libraries

In [12]: from stdlib_list import stdlib_list

In [13]: libraries = stdlib_list("3.5")

In [14]: libraries[4:12]
Out[14]: ['abc', 'aifc', 'argparse', 'array', 'ast', 'asynchat', 'asyncio', 'asyncore']

You can find source code here.
