Everything included in the Python standard library, except the modules tkinter, turtledemo, distutils, idlelib, lib2to3 and test.

Here's the rationale for why these modules were not included.

Running help('modules') could also prove useful.. – iKlsR Jun 16 '13 at 22:29

Check: http://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/source/creator/CMakeLists.txt - line 450, shows the data thats excluded. – ideasman42 Jun 17 '13 at 03:09

Run from console to find out.

import sys
print(sys.path)

anything located in any of these directories. the standard python library stuff will be located in ...\\x.xx\\python\\lib, where x.xx is the release version, currently 2.67.
