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).
