Python libs that I wish were part of the standard library
I can't give you a stdlib, but I can give you a package with a lot of the basic functionality but still small enough that it installs quickly and has negligable overhead. The ubelt library is a set of 100ish utility functions and classes. It's similar to boltons, but I suppose it reflects a different perspective on what's useful.

How do you feel about vendored packages?
Number 3 is the one I feel most conflicted about. Specifically, I tout my ubelt library as having 0 required dependencies. However, it vendors two libraries: progiter and orderedset. The first of which I also maintain and the second of which I don't maintain, but have contributed to. It feels odd to have a single dependency for a library that would otherwise have zero. But at the same time it feels odd to maintain that code myself. Also if I didn't vendor it, it would not be included in the documentation, so there is that. I've recently been thinking I should split ubelt up into many smaller packages and then use ubelt as a "hub" to include them all. However, that's a lot more work than just maintaining one (still quite small) package, and I think having everything broken up with incur a lot of overhead at pip install time, so I'm very conflicted on the whole subject.

[D] What is some cool python magic(s) that you've learned over the years?
The ubelt.util_platform module is a good example of including references to similar functionality.
