Python's Extensive Standard Library

Python has a built-in library of modules to make programming less complex.

Built-in Modules:

• Time: Manage dates and times.
• Re: Regular expressions for string manipulation.
• Math: Mathematical functions.

Standard Libraries for Specific Tasks:

• NumPy: Scientific computing toolbox.
• Pandas: Data analysis and manipulation.
• Matplotlib: Data visualization.

Batteries Included Philosophy:

Python aims to include all essential modules within the standard library. This avoids the need for external libraries.

Example of the Power of Python's Standard Library:

import numpy as np

# Create a random array
data = np.random.rand(100, 100)

# Perform operations on the array
mean = np.mean(data)
std = np.std(data)

# Plot the results
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(mean, std)
plt.show()

With just a few lines of code, we can generate, analyze, and visualize data using the standard library.
