There are at least two such projects already: stdlib and penlight, both

The way I see it (others might not) is that Penlight is your home from home if you already know Python, whereas stdlib carries no baggage; Penlight is a well-integrated, written-from-scratch library chiefly by one programmer, whereas stdlib is a collection of routines by many people, lightly maintained (i.e. 5.1 versions of code that started out as 5.0) but not having a common programming style.
