The stdlib is there to provide a base level of functionality. That base

If you need specific features, more speed, can't live with a certain API or
feel that you are wasting too much developer time by doing something the
way you always did it, search PyPI for something "better" by your own
definition at a given time.
If you can live with what the stdlib provides, stick to it. Keeping foreign
dependencies low is also "better" in some cases.
Nice summary.
