Python becomes truly powerful when you start using libraries. A library is a collection of ready-made code that you can use instead of writing everything yourself.
In this chapter you will:
- Learn what libraries and modules are
- See how to import and use them
- Explore some useful standard libraries
- Learn how to install and use external libraries with
pip
You do not need to know everything about libraries at once. The goal here is to become comfortable with the basic ideas and patterns you will see again and again.
