gollark: And which should be, say, not in the core library.
gollark: ```File Formats csv — CSV File Reading and Writing configparser — Configuration file parser netrc — netrc file processing xdrlib — Encode and decode XDR data plistlib — Generate and parse Mac OS X .plist files```More random stuff which probably nobody ever needs.
gollark: ```Data Compression and Archiving zlib — Compression compatible with gzip gzip — Support for gzip files```(not whole section)
gollark: Two different things for globby pattern matching, stupid amounts of different things for paths.
gollark: ```File and Directory Access pathlib — Object-oriented filesystem paths os.path — Common pathname manipulations fileinput — Iterate over lines from multiple input streams stat — Interpreting stat() results filecmp — File and Directory Comparisons tempfile — Generate temporary files and directories glob — Unix style pathname pattern expansion fnmatch — Unix filename pattern matching linecache — Random access to text lines shutil — High-level file operations macpath — Mac OS 9 path manipulation functions```The standard library being weird.
