Only if you want to use them. Really, no.

If so is there a
list that needs to be built and installed .

There is a list of them packages which you MAY install but may also
choose not to here:

http://www.python.org/pypi

This used to be called the Python Package index but is now the Python
Cheese Shop? Huh???

I have but I've never heard of PyPI's name being changed? I can only
find an announcement on Slashdot?

I came across the change a good while back in my Web referrals, not
having heard of it except passively. PyPI was a simple, clear,
unambiguous name; Cheese Shop is just a silly name for no purpose.

Conversely, PyPI is a dull name with no obvious pronunciation, thus
difficult to remember; whereas Cheese Shop is a short phrase (that can
be translated), is easy to remember and has easy analogies to its
actual function.

Indeed. A place completely uncontaminated by cheese:
