Whatever happened to "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."? :)
Ignoring for a moment that "one obvious way" only applies to Python-the-language, when it comes to libraries, there's a few factors (IMO) that affect this:
1. Some people find it easier to write something from scratch that read docs for an existing product.
2. It's easier to reimplement an existing concept than come up with something new.
This is actually a good thing, though, as monocultures die. Just chalk it up to evolutionary pressure :)
