A library, or a package is a collection of files (each called a module) that contains functions, types etc. for use in other programs. May also contain data values (e.g., numerical constants) and other things. A good libraries content will be related, but there's no way to enforce that. The Python standard library is an extensive suite of modules that comes with Python itself. Many additional libraries are available from PyPI (the Python Package Index) or elsewhere. We will later see how to write our own libraries. Using libraries brings several benefits: We don't have to write everything ourselves, often the task you are trying to accomplish has been done before. Good libraries may also be documented, tested, optimised and continually maintained such that they are more reliable than our own code. Our code is easier to understand to others, since they may be familiar with the library we are using. We can learn good programming practices from libraries. How did they accomplish somethin
