I've found it way more hit and miss in terms of quality. From some examples I gave:

- JSON: Yup, stdlib is good here

- HTTP client: There is urllib.request, although people maybe reach for requests more.

- HTTP server: No, it's just some super basic thing (it's not even 'nice' to write for local dev). Would never let anything here near production.

- Unit testing: Yes, I think unittest is pretty good (I actually like it a lot, and think pytest is overrated).

- Crypto functions: No, not equivalent. There is hashlib but basically anything else you're pointed at pycrypto or cryptography with all the associated ecosystem nonsense (oh I need a Rust compiler now? Great...).

The difference is Python _has_ all of these things in the standard library, but the quality is super mixed, and not all of them are suitable for real use.
