I find defaultdict, OrderedDict, namedtuple among other data structures/classes in the collections module to be incredibly useful.

Another module that's packaged with the stdlib that's immensely useful is itertools. I especially find takewhile, cycle, and chain to be incredibly useful building blocks for list-related functions. I highly recommend a quick read.

EDIT: functools is also great! Fantastic module for higher-order functions on callable objects.
