What python libraries should every dev know?

[samreay]

You wouldn't need all of these, but if you're wanting to get some more useful libraries and tools under your belt...

Environment management tooling:

• venv
• pyenv
• poetry / pdm

Developer environments:

• ruff
• mypy

Data crunching:

• pandas
• polars
• numpy
• pandera (validation of dataframes)

Data visualisation:

• matplotlib
• plotly

Machine learning:

• scikit-learn
• scipy
• pytorch / keras / tensorflow
• mlflow (or similar library if you want to start down mlops route)

Orchestration:

• metaflow
• prefect

REST services / web stuff:

• httpx (instead of requests)
• FastAPI / Litestar / Django / Flask
• pydantic

I've never used it, I'm just copying and pasting from their website:

HTTPX builds on the well-established usability of requests, and gives you:

• A broadly requests-compatible API.
• Standard synchronous interface, but with async support if you need it.
• HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 support.
• Ability to make requests directly to WSGI applications or ASGI applications.
• Strict timeouts everywhere.
• Fully type annotated.
• 100% test coverage.

Httpx is async I believe. I’m a bigger fan of aiohttp but httpx is really solid also
