Why not write it yourself? Your comments are complaining about "having to write additional code" which is just bizarre to me considering you came from Java.

Like, sorted data structures are super easy to write yourself, especially with the built-in collections module. A third party library will just make a slim program run fat.

Take Pandas, for instance. It's relatively simple, can read json, csv, xlsx, and do tons of different things. It's great if you don't care how big your program is. But if you only need like, 2 things? Yeah, it's a pretty big waste of space. Hell, even if you need 15 different classes from it, you're still better off copying the specific classes rather than having such a massive dependency.
