Hey. Author of the blog post here.

I specifically excluded awesome libs like requests, SQLAlchemy, Flask, fabric etc. because I thought them too "main-stream". If you know what you're trying to do, it's almost guaranteed that you'll stumble over the aforementioned. I tried to compile a little bit of a list of libraries that SHOULD be better known, but aren't.

I see your point but in my opinion, requests is quite different from SQLAlchemy, Flask and fabric. I wouldn't put them at the same level.

That's what I thought you'd done, and it was a great idea. Except for dateutil and sh, I hadn't heard of any of these. In response to the 'Python for Humans' post, this was a perfect compendium.

Thanks a million.
