Not necessarily. It has been proposed (more than once I think) that such a
stdlib package could be created in parallel using symlinks. At its
simplest, I think all you'd need would be a stdlib directory, a nearly empty
__init__.py file and symlinks to all the current standard modules and
packages. (The __init__.py file would take care of importing builtin
modules.)
I would choose a very short name for such a package ("std" seems best) even
though it might create clashes because it will be used a lot.
