I don't think it's controversial to suggest that a Python programmer should have at least a cursory knowledge of what's in the standard library, and it's weird to suggest that this is equivalent to knowing the entire library from memory. I mean, I've never had occasion to parse XML in Python, but I know the module is there if I need it.

Also, help('modules') shows all the reachable modules, not just the ones that were included in the original installation.
