Top 45 Python Libraries for Beginners

Last updated on

We know about Python Programming that what is it and who developed it.

But what about its libraries? What actually libraries mean?🤷‍♀️

Python Libraries are a set of useful functions that eliminate the need for writing codes from scratch.

And, Python provides us various libraries (whether it’s for the game, GUI, web, numerical etc.) approximately about 137,000.

Let’s get started!👇

Wrapping it Up!

I hope, you find it informative!

Putting all the Python libraries names was quite difficult. So, I tried to sum up the top 45 Python libraries in a nice tabular format with their initial release date, license and developer(s) name.

ENJOY LEARNING!
