The rospy API docs have a list of modules that are part of the rospy library. For someone wanting to write nodes using rospy, which modules in the api docs should he/she be concerned with. The reason I ask is that some of those modules are marked internal only. Does that mean people writing nodes need not be concerned with them?
For writing a rospy node, the best documentation of the rospy API is the rospy overview.
The most commonly used rospy functionality is documented there. In general, I would suggest only looking at the autogenerated API docs if you can't find what you are looking for in the overview pages.
In most cases you will not need to import (and use) anything else than just rospy.
Using rospy.is_shutdown() as a loop condition is a very common idiom that you'll see if you look through the python tutorials.
