But perhaps all this falls in the 'batteries included' PEP ? Or perhaps a new PEP, 'enriching the Standard Library' ?

I think that leads in a sub-optimal direction. Adding suitable modules shouldn't be a one-shot or episodic event but a continuous process of incorporating the best work the community has done.
