I would like to add more classes for the different random variable distributions that statistics.py currently does not have. Some of examples of the distributions I would like to add are, poisson, geomteric, hypergeometric, binomial etc…
FWIW, all of the distributions you mentioned (and more) are currently available in scipy.stats.

I know but I wanted to add it cpython instead of having to use it.
Why? Scipy is in the process of a big stats rewrite, and their new interface is looking very well designed. Do you really think that CPython has any hope of producing anything even close?

statistics is intentionally limited in scope to " the level of graphing and scientific calculators" and not compete at all with scipy, etc. I am pretty sure that the few core developers who will touch it do not want to expand.
