Python has sqlite3[0], curses (tui) [1], and tkinter[2] in the stdlib.

And ironically with the exception of the python sqlite3 module, the rust alternatives are much higher quality, IMO.
replyDoes anyone even use tkinter in modern times anyways?
I wouldn't start a company behind it but tkinter is perfectly fine for basic guis. It has its quirks but who doesn't?
replyRight. The famous stdlib where once good libraries go to die so you instead depend on the latest community replacement choice.
replyAlso argparse for Clap:
To highlight the problem for Python: Python's standard library has getopt, optparse, and now argparse. I don't think they set out to offer 3 argument parsing libs, one of which is marked superseded, but here we are.
replyAt least in the case of sqlite, rusqlite pulled in 5 or so in total whereas Go had a single library that was a thin wrapper around sqlite, and integrated into the stdlib interface. Many fewer deps
replyEdit: counts are fair, that’s still hundreds unaccounted
