packages

In Python, packages are a way to organize related modules into a hierarchical directory structure. They help in organizing and managing large codebases and promote code reusability. Python’s standard library and the broader Python ecosystem offer a wide range of packages for various purposes. Here are some commonly used packages in Python along with examples:

1. numpy – Provides support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and mathematical functions.
   • import numpy as np
   • array = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
   • print(array) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
2. pandas – Offers high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools.
   • import pandas as pd
   • data = {'Name': ['John', 'Alice', 'Bob'], 'Age': [25, 30, 35]}
   • df = pd.DataFrame(data)
   • print(df) # Output: A tabular representation of the data
3. matplotlib – Enables data visualization with a wide range of plotting options.
   • import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   • x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
   • y = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
   • plt.plot(x, y)
   • plt.show() # Displays the plot
4. requests – Simplifies making HTTP requests and interacting with APIs.
   • import requests
   • response =requests.get('https://api.example.com/data')
   • print(response.json()) # Output: JSON response from the API
5. datetime – Provides classes for working with dates, times, and time intervals.
   • import datetime
   • current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
   • print(current_time) # Output: Current date and time
6. sqlite3 – Enables interaction with SQLite databases.
   • import sqlite3
   • conn = sqlite3.connect('mydatabase.db')
   • cursor = conn.cursor()
   • cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM users')
   • rows = cursor.fetchall()
   • print(rows) # Output: Data retrieved from the database
7. tkinter – Provides a GUI toolkit for creating desktop applications.
   • import tkinter as tk
   • window = tk.Tk()
   • label = tk.Label(window, text="Hello, World!")
   • label.pack()
   • window.mainloop() # Displays the GUI window
