Yes, it is the stuff you need for web programming. I assume they
were selected based on user pressure. (numpy, lxml, PIL).
I think maybe a modular approach is better, to have different
profiles:
1. foundational libraries (basic types)
2. architecture related libraries (embedded/cloud/desktop/mobile)
3. application level libraries (image processing etc)
Then you enforce dependencies in a way where lower level numbers
don't depend on higher levels and give priority to the
implementation of lower level (greater stability guarantees).
