I often run into the same problem.  If we’re going to split up the Library 
section, then I think it makes sense to follow the top-level organization of 
the library manual:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html

That already provides a mapping from module to category, and for the most part 
it’s a taxonomy that makes sense and is time proven.
