LLM支援による依存関係ゼロのPythonライブラリ：標準ライブラリかサードパーティ製か、実証的な性能と正しさの評価

Third-party Python libraries introduce dependency management overhead, supply chain risk, and deployment friction in constrained environments. A natural question is how much of this ecosystem can be replicated using only Python's standard library -- and at what correctness and performance cost. We address this empirically through zerodep, a growing collection of single-file Python modules, each a stdlib-only reimplementation of a popular third-party library, developed with LLM assistance under strict constraints: no external imports, single file, drop-in API compatibility, and mandatory correctness validation against the reference library. Spanning over 40 modules across 12 categories -- including serialization, networking, cryptography, agent protocols, and text processing -- zerodep provides a controlled testbed for two interrelated questions: (1) Where does the stdlib suffice? and (2) Can LLMs effectively generate correct, performant code under tight symbolic constraints? Systematic benchmarking shows that stdlib-only implementations achieve performance parity (within 2x of the reference) in the majority of cases. The primary performance cliff is C-extension-backed computation (image processing, binary serialization, low-level crypto), not the inherent overhead of pure-Python third-party libraries. Conversely, many widely-used libraries carry architectural overhead that LLM-generated stdlib reimplementations avoid, yielding 5--115x speedups in several categories. We characterize the stdlib capability boundary across complexity tiers and library categories, discuss where LLM-assisted development succeeds and where it requires iterative human correction, and examine implications for dependency-free software engineering at scale. zerodep is open-source at https://github.com/Oaklight/zerodep.
