Hmmm... I've also used it as a quick-and-dirty image
manipulation tool. PIL would fit under the same question, and it's
certainly usable for more than just Web stuff. A Graphics section
(for PyOpenGL and other stuff) is probably advised.

I can think of the following unclassifiable modules, off-hand:

* zlib (I put it in Text manipulation, somewhat arbitrarily)

* SSLeay (should go wherever socket stuff such as Medusa,
etc., will go)

* SANE, a Unix scanning API (Graphics)

* The ncurses module (Unix-specific section, maybe?)

* The calendrical modules being discussed in the DB-SIG (Data
Structures, I'd think, though it's a toss-up whether to put them in
Mathematical or non-math.)
