Much appreciated. As a newbie the amount of modules available is overwhelming and there is not enough time to properly investigate them all, so a quick overview like this is very helpful.

[@modaryaghi]

I am still a beginner at Python and all the programming worlds. I liked this video very much. It gave me a guide to what I have to learn through the next steps.

[@savitavyas1981]

I am a student and make fun games and apps, some of them are useful though so I prefer- Turtle Pygame Math Tkinter And all other gui modules

[@crackwitz]

my favorite (that hasn't been mentioned in the video): *numba* when numpy is too general to optimize well, you can just write some python instead, and numba *will* make it faster, because now it's actually compiled.

[@juliajulsen5623]

I came across your channel for the 7h tensorflow tutorial, and I've been loving it eversince. Great content, very well presented. Thanks!

[@jwolf16]

I would suggest PySide2 over PyQt5. both are Qt bindings for python, but PySide2 has a more permissive license and is the official bindings developed and maintained by the Qt project

[@kokomiko102]

I love sympy it‘s a CAS for python and is capable of solving quite abstract tasks (but you‘ll probably never use it for actual programming)

[@iamblaineful]

Twisted is no longer needed, i used it years and years ago to solve problems that are now handled in the standard lib. Matplotlib, Scipy, SciKitLearn, Keras, and Flask if you work in Corp America are crucial. Data science, data processing(db ETL, xls/csv file processing, xml, json, CRUD apps), data visualization, and Glue apps (writing middleware to connect up legacy and/or SaaS apps to talk to each other), and data pipelining with Kafka + Python (feeding the data warehouse info from SaaS data islands) are still mission critical and hard to fill roles that will get even junior developers a foothold in today's market.

My favorite library is SymPy. It's great for doing symbolic math in python like algebra and calculus

[@prateekkumar8052]

Bro I can't agree with one thing you said i.e pytorch is lagging behind tensorflow. Since you love numpy it goes without saying you'll pick pytorch out of two. My personal reason for picking pytorch are: 1. Python like syntax(most imp) 2. Dynamic computation graph which is way superior to tensorflow eager execution. 3. Autograd is just amazing. 4. Easy training across multiple GPUs. Tensorflow is only popular because it came first in the market and is developed by google. On the other hand pytorch is managed by Facebook AI research team. Although people don't consider Facebook a much reputable company but it has given "Python lovers" a deep learning framework which is fastest and feels like Python.

[@lemongraz7295]

Completely agree

For data science, you forgot Seaborn!. Also, for anybody watching this after 2021, keras has been integrated into tensorflow. There is also now a tensorflow probability module. Great video, there were a few modules that I didn't know about and I'm definitely going to check them out.

For GUI development, you left out wxPython, the Python wrapper for the wx-Widgets library; a very powerful GTK based GUI toolkit.

[@Victor_Marius]

@L. Kärkkäinen you can integrate PyQt5 with a web app to run it on desktop and can even send data between the Html/Js app to PyQt5. This way you can make your UI cooler and have all that PyQt5 power under the hood. You have available a web engine available in PyQt5.

[@melellington1333]

Question about - Simplilearn ML course: Does it have actual work for the student to perform? Just having everything out in front of you to copy isn't learning. Would be good if it gives you the tools and the logic, leaving it to you to do the projects.

[@langrock74]

PyQT5 and tkinter are very different. The former is a commercial package, while the latter is built into every Python installation. You can write a tkinter app and send it to someone without them having to download any additional packages. Yes, it’s old, but also doesn’t require additional software for GUI layout etc. Pro apps would use QT5, I’m sure.

[@maxtuck6820]

Tim, thank you for a great video on modules. Could you recommend a module for developing a remote desktop application.

Unlike MatLab which has native plotting library (they're readily accessible without import so they're not technically a library but that's besides the point), a plotting library is a must if you work with some type of apps. I heard plotpy but if it plots, it suffices I think.

I don't know the first thing about Python. But when I was looking for suggestions about how to import a data buffer content from a measuring instrument for processing in Excel,, one suggestion was to "ignore everything" (of the other suggestions) and simply do it in Python. Of course, not even an attempt to elaborate. So, does Python offer some magically simple way of accomplishing the data import from a meter that has an old serial port and IEEE-488 as the only options? I used to do the data capturing in the old days when direct access to serial (and parallel) port hardware was commonplace. Windows has not allowed that for ages now.

Just here to say that as far as GUI toolkits go, tkinter is actually just as capable as PyQt, it's just a bit lower-level that's all. I'm actually contributing to ttkwidgets, a third-party module that adds a lot of extra widgets to tkinter, which can be handy if you want to get something started relatively easily. Furthermore, there are 2 tools I'd recommend if you're building GUIs with that toolkit, and that's PAGE (page.sourceforge.net/) that is an equivalent to qt designer, and the tool I'm currently working on, tkuic, which converts qtdesigner .ui files into tkinter classes.

@@halfword Selenium is kind of slow and awkward to use and error prone and also easy to catch if you are webscraping. Puppeteer supposedly offers more control, is faster, though I haven't directly played around with it, but indirectly. I stopped learning node.js for a bit, but I will probably still learn it to directly use Puppetter. These days for webscraping, browser emulation needs to be more sophistiacted and puppetter is when compared to selenium. You could learn both, but def learn Puppeteer.
