I’m confused on this point, isn’t functools part of the standard library? Or has this changed?

Built-ins are available without import. Stdlib are available without separate install.

That distinction is a bit muddy:

    >>> import os
    >>> type(os.scandir)
    <class 'builtin_function_or_method'>
