IMHO There is no chance that all these packages be distributed with Python 
in the standard libs.

Near the third party distributions already signaled (Anaconda, but there is 
also Pythonxy and others), for students you can take a look a Pyzo, which 
integrate an IDE with some common scientific packages.

http://www.pyzo.org/

It include following packages:

http://www.pyzo.org/packages.html#packages

But, no pygame… (maybe it can be installed via conda as indicated on this 
page - you may test under common student OS).

A+
Laurent.

Bug in Python 3.5.1

[nisthesecond]

Dear Sir,
   I downloaded and installed Python 3.5.1 in Windows 10.
   The pip command was not part of it.
   In the future, can you kindly include numpy, scipy, and pygame as part of
   the Python release?
   I am a teacher trying to teach Python to my students.
   To get a working version of Python going is extremely tedious.
   Kind Regards,
   Nick Srinivasan

pip is part of Python 3.5.1, I'd assume that you did not select it when 
you did the installion.  Installing third party modules with core Python 
is never going to happen.  However there are several distributions that 
do bundle things, see http://www.scipy.org/install.html

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.

Hello Nick,

Any time you want to install a Python package, the first thing you should
try is typing "pip install [package-name]".  If that doesn't work (and it
often doesn't), you should check [Christoph Golke's website] for the
package you're trying to install.

If you want to download Python and have numpy, scipy, and Python in one
installer, I recommend using [Anaconda].  You will still have to download
pygame yourself (I think).  Anaconda is a pretty big download, but the plus
side is that it comes with lots of packages so probably won't have to
install as much stuff.

There is no way that numpy, scipy, and pygame will become a part of the
Python release; that's why redistributors like Anaconda exist.
