I'm actually totally okay with this, as I'd really like to have JUnit XML 
output from the test suite, which is easiest to do with the existing 
third-party libraries.

Can we formalize a way by which optional third-party libraries are allowed? 
Provided they aren't critical for the overall pass/fail state of the test suite 
(or the more strict alternative: pass/fail state of *each* test), I don't see 
any particular harm in certain site packages being used.

(This is probably a discussion for python-dev, assuming the policy is written 
down somewhere.)
