Yes, but while the "batteries included" option can be rolled from the "no batteries" version, the reverse is not true.

The current package management systems can't even figure out that a version of a standard lib library is "what came with Python 2.x.y" rather than a bugfixed version that's been later installed (pyunit springs to mind as a potential candidate here...)

cheers,
