It is one package. (You can install distinct packages for python 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 
... and select which one is default.) That gets you Python and the stdlib.

There's a whole suite of extra packages for various third party libraries. And 
of course the user can use pip and/or virtualenv to arrange things on their 
own, also.
