From the course: Python Essential Libraries
Power up your Python with libraries
- [Joe] If you've done any Python programming, you've probably made at least some use of the Python standard library. It contains a lot of useful prebuilt code modules that address a wide range of programming needs from working with files and dates, to retrieving data from the internet. Hi, I'm Joe Marini and I've been building software professionally for more than 30 years and I'm excited to show you just how rich and extensive the Python third party library ecosystem is. In this course, we'll learn how to find great libraries using the PYPI website and how to install and manage these libraries using the built in pip tool. Then we'll take a look at a selection of essential libraries you should consider using in your projects to handle common programming challenges, like reading, writing, and manipulating image files, working with file systems and directories, and retrieving and sending data over the internet. There's a lot of great stuff available in the Python ecosystem beyond the standard library. So come on, let's get started.
