Yep. I was looking for exactly this list.

Incidentally Python could use an more equivalent to djangopackages.com to help in identifying popular alternatives to standard lib packages.

I'm of the leads on that project. We're working on upgrading the code base to support all of Python, and hope to have that ready by PyCon US.
