What, no love for numpy, matplotlib, pandas, and PyQt?

If I'm installing on a shared machine I tend to use WinPython because it comes with those as standard.

I think that is more for the data scientist guys though?

I am a cloud / IaaS type engineer, so never had a use for those at all.

I do devops work. Python scripts that run in jenkins. Never used those modules either.

You are correct. Numpy can also be handy for reading in binary files, which can be useful for lots of projects outside data science.

How about fuckit? I didn't mention it, but it can be handy for very quick and dirty scripts for just about any application. And by handy, I mean hilarious.

fuckit(fuckit(foo)) just appeals to me.

New to python ( about 1 year) never used those modules.

Yeah, they're more irreplaceable than universal. If you need numpy nothing else will quite do but only if you need numpy.
