Standard Modules
Standard Modules
Python comes with a rich set of standard modules that provide a wide range of functionalities. These modules are part of the Python Standard Library and cover various areas such as file I/O, regular expressions, networking, database access, data serialization, and more. Here are some essential standard modules in Python:
### 1. `math` Module:
- Provides mathematical functions (e.g., `sqrt()`, `sin()`, `cos()`) and constants (e.g., `pi`, `e`).
### 2. `random` Module:
- Implements pseudo-random number generators for various distributions.
### 3. `datetime` Module:
- Provides classes for manipulating dates and times.
### 4. `os` Module:
- Offers a way of using operating system-dependent functionality, like reading or writing to the file system.
### 5. `sys` Module:
- Provides access to some variables used or maintained by the Python interpreter and functions that interact strongly with the interpreter.
### 6. `re` Module:
- Offers a set of functions that allows us to search a string for a match or replace the matches with another string.
### 7. `json` Module:
- Provides methods for working with JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data.
### 8. `urllib` Module:
- Provides a high-level interface for fetching data across the World Wide Web.
### 9. `sqlite3` Module:
- Provides a lightweight disk-based database.
### 10. `collections` Module:
- Implements several specialized container datatypes (e.g., `namedtuple()`, `deque`, `Counter`, `OrderedDict`).
These are just a few examples, and there are many more modules in the Python Standard Library covering a wide range of tasks. These modules are readily available and can be imported and used in your Python programs without the need for additional installations. They make Python a powerful language for various applications, from web development to scientific computing.
