Exploring the Python Ecosystem
Python is a neat programming language because its syntax is simple, clear, and concise. But Python would not be so successful without its rich third-party libraries. Python is so famous for data science and machine learning that it has become a de facto lingua franca just because we have so many libraries for those tasks. Without those libraries, Python is not too powerful.
After finishing this tutorial, you will learn:
-
- Where the Python libraries are installed in your system
- What is PyPI, and how a library repository can help your project
- How to use the
pip
command to use a library from the repository
