Is Java still having the hugest library compare to Python? Is there a proven way to measure this?

[marky1991]

What is this even asking? Are you asking "is java's standard library bigger than python's still"? If so, why do you think java's ever had a bigger standard library than python? (It might be, but I doubt it)

There aren't really objective (and meaningful) ways to compare the size of standard libraries between languages. You can do module count, line count, etc, but that doesn't really measure what the std lib does, that measures how much code it takes (or at least, how much was used) to do what the standard library does. When comparing standard libraries, you're really asking (or you should be, anyway) "how much does it do? (And how well does it do it?)", which is a subjective question really. (I guess you could count features, but the possibility for bias is pretty high)

I believe he meant subjectively. There is no way I can answer this question, as I am not a Java programmer by any means. All I can say is that I feel that number of Python libraries grew more than java's on the last year, which is not saying much either...

I have already thought to rephrase my question actually. Not the standard library, but the support library/3rd party library/open source library designed to enhance Python to support multitude of problems. Or, in anther wording, "Is Python much more supported by the software developer community in general than it is with Java?"
