39 Most Useful Python Modules holds 95% Python Jobs by 2021

One of the best things about Python is its library support.

Python libraries are so powerful. And that gives Python an edge over most of its other competitive programming languages.

In this article, you will learn the most useful Python libraries and how you can secure your high-paying jobs in 2021.

What is the Python library or module?

To keep it simple, it is a program which is already written and has defined many of the useful functions inside it. So rather than writing your own functions, you can simply import those libraries in your code and call them.

import <my_dream_library>

This one-liner has changed and impacted many Python worriers life.

Engineering and development have become so easy.

Using those most important Python libraries, the lines of code in your program has reduced to 5%. Maybe even lesser.

Whether you are dwelling into the Artificial Intelligence, Data Science or Networking… you can easily find the Python libraries in that domain.

Of course, someone has already spent sleepless nights writing those Python libraries for you.

You are in DEBT.

But, you don’t have a choice. You have to take this debt. Today, you can not RISK YOUR JOB for not using these most useful Python libraries.

Interestingly, all these libraries are available for FREE.

Now, you owe them (who has written these libraries) a cup of coffee 😉 This is the last thing you can do for them.

While you bring them a coffee, here is the list of those most useful Python libraries I am curating for you.

List of Most Useful Python Modules | You May Lose Your Job Not Using Them

Let’s start one by one…

Artificial Intelligence

For the sake of simplicity, we can re-define the AI. It is displaying of intelligence by machine.

There are different pros and cons of Artifical Intelligence.  But, when it comes to development, Python is the best suitable programming language for AI. This is mainly because of Python library support.

What are the best Python libraries for AI?

AI is a vast topic and includes branches like Machine Learning, AI, Neural Networking, Natural Language Processing.

There are some prominent Python libraries you need to explore to get into these AI branches.

Machine Learning:

If you are new in this field, learn the introduction of Machine learning for beginners.

What are the different Machine Learning Python Libraries available?

1. PyML
2. PyBrain
3. scikit-learn
4. MDP Toolkit
5. GraphLab Create
6. MIPy

General AI:

What are the Useful Python libraries for General AI?

7. pyDatalog
8. AIMA
9. EasyAI
10. SimpleAI

Neural Networking:

What are the Python modules supporting Neural Networking?

11. PyAnn
12. pyrenn
13. ffnet
14. neurolab

Natural Language and Text Processing:

What are the good Python Libraries for Natural Language and Text Processing?

15. Quepy
16. NLTK
17. genism

Big Data, Data Analytics & Data Science

This domain deals with gathering, processing and analyzing data.

You need special skills to become data scientist.

You need special types of Python libraries that provide an effective structure to store and to process the massive amount of data.

What are the best Python modules for Data Science?

18. Pandas
19. scikit-learn
20. NumPy
21. SciPy
22. GraphLab Create
23. IPython
24. Bokeh
25. Agate
26. PySpark
27. Dask

These are the top 10 Python modules used in data science.

Read more detail about these Data Science libraries before you proceed.

After analyzing and processing the data using above Python modules, you also need to visualize and plot the final statistics.

Which is the Best library for Data Visualization and for Plotting the graph?

Just like data processing, there are many different Python libraries for plotting the graph and representing data in pictorial diagrams.

Here is the one best among all.

28. matplotlib

You will be using these libraries in most of your data science projects.

It’s not an exaggeration if I say- Python is one of the reasons behind the Big Data and so Data Science success.

If you are new to the Data Science field, I would recommend you to start by exploring the Numpy Python module.

Computer Networking & Cyber Security

The number of devices getting connected, network security has become Really BIG concern.

It is one of the most interesting topics. We are dominated by the Internet every day. We can not just stop talking about it.

Networking involves multiple activities like configuration routers and switches, routing packets, different networking protocol. If you are Network admin, you might find it familiar.

And to assist different purpose, Python has different specific libraries.

What are the Python libraries for Networking?

29. Ansible
30. Netmiko
31. NAPALM(Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor Support)
32. Pyeapi
33. Junos PyEZ
34. PySNM
35. Paramiko SSH

There are two major things in networking- Aut0mation and Cybersecurity.

With these libraries, you can also automate certain networking task. Instead of spending a lot of time doing the same networking stuffs, again and again, automation makes your life easy.

You might like spending that time with your family 😉

Cybersecurity is a big concern. Some of these libraries will assist the network to acknowledge and to prevent security threats.

Framework for Web Development

Many major websites are developed using Python programming. Quora is a big example.

There are many Python libraries that assist web development so-called Python web framework. Depending on the maturity and adaptability following three Python frameworks are used.

36. Django
37. Flask
38. Bottle
39. Beautifulsoup (for web scrapping)

Most of the enterprise/IT development uses the Django web framework. It comes features with almost all the features required for website development. If you want to get into the IT job, start learning Django.

Among all three, Bottle Python framework is the easiest and most light-weighted web framework to start web development.

The list is big. I have mentioned only most useful web framework.

Where Not to use the Python?

You might be thinking as I keep praising Python. It’s not the case. There are certain areas where Python lags. And you should stop using Python for it.

Many of the readers asked me about App development and.

Are there Python libraries for developing mobile App? Can we use Python for developing Android or iOS apps?

If you ask me to answer with one word.

“YES!”

Is it worth developing a mobile app using Python?

“NO!”

I already had this discussion about it earlier.

Whether it is Python or any programming languages, I don’t recommend using one programming languages for all your task.

Every programming languages are developed for a specific domain.  And use them accordingly.

Your Turn…

If you are looking for a job or dwelling into these trending technologies, you need to explore these libraries. In 2021, 95% of the Python jobs are going to revolve around these libraries

So what are you waiting for?

Choose your technology interest. Choose libraries based on your desired technology. Install them using the pip tool and start  Exploring.

Gradually you will learn to implement these Python libraries in your project.

Now, I want to listen to you.
