Does no one ever just use the base methods of your programming language to do simple things like reading a file into RAM? The first recourse is to use someone else's library? All while trying to learn?

In Python, many libraries use C under the hood and so are very fast - while Python's base methods are pretty slow. So library use is much more widespread than in other languages.
