Pillow Dedicated to image processing , You can use this library to create thumbnails , Convert between file formats , rotate , Application filter , Display images, etc . If you need to perform batch operations on many images , This is the ideal choice .
In order to understand it quickly , Look at the following code example （ Load and render ）：
4. Colorama
Colorama Allows you to use colors on the terminal , Very suitable Python script , The document is short and interesting , Can be in Colorama PyPI Found on page .
5. JmesPath
stay Python In use JSON Very easy. , because JSON stay Python The mapping on the dictionary is very good . in addition ,Python With their own excellent json library , For parsing and creating JSON. To me , This is one of its best features . If I need to use JSON, May consider using Python.
JMESPath send Python handle JSON Easier , It allows you to explicitly specify how to JSON Extract elements from document . Here are some basic examples , It can let you know its function ：
6. Requests
Requests Built on the world's largest number of Downloads Python library urllib3 upper , It makes Web The request becomes very simple , Powerful and versatile .

authentication
*
use cookie
*
implement POST,PUT,DELETE etc.
*
Use custom certificate
*
Use session Session
*
Use agent
7. Simplejson
Python Local in json What's wrong with the module ? No, ! actually ,Python of json yes simplejson. intend ,Python Adopted simplejson A version of , And incorporate it into each distribution . But use simplejson It has some advantages ：
It applies to more Python edition .
Its ratio Python The attached version is updated more frequently .
It's very useful C Written （ Optional ） part , So very fast .
Because of these facts , You often use JSON See the following in your script ：
I will only use the default json, Unless you need it ：
speed
Simplejson than json Much faster , Because it uses C Implement some key parts . Unless you're dealing with millions JSON file , Otherwise you won't be interested in this speed .
8. Emoji
Emoji The library is very interesting , But not everyone likes facial expression bags , When analyzing media data ,Emoji The package is very useful .
Here is a simple code example ：
9. Chardet
You can use chardet Module to detect the character set of a file or data stream . for example , This is useful when analyzing large amounts of random text . however , When you don't know what the character set is , It can also be used when processing data downloaded remotely .
10. Python-dateutil
python-dateutil The module provides an overview of the standard datetime Powerful expansion of modules . My experience is , Conventional Python Where does the date time function end , and python-dateutil Just appeared .
You can do many great things with this library . I limit these examples to those I find particularly useful ： Date in fuzzy analysis log file , for example ：
For more features , See full documentation , for example ：
Calculate relative increment （ next month , next year , Next monday , The last week of the month, etc ） And the relative increment between two given date objects .
use iCalendar Canonical superset , Calculate date based on repetition rule .
tzfile file （/ etc / localtime,/ usr / share /
zoneinfo etc. ） Time zone （tzinfo） realization ,TZ Environment string （ All known formats ）,iCalendar Format file , Given range （ With the help of relative increment ）, local computer
time zone , Fixed offset time zone ,UTC Time zone and based on Windows Time zone of the registry .
Internal latest world time zone information based on Olsen database .
use Western,Orthodox or Julian The algorithm calculates the Easter Sunday date of any year .
11. progress bar ：progress and tqdm
There's a bit of cheating here , Because these are two bags , But it's unfair to ignore one of them .
You can create your own progress bar , This may be interesting , But use progress or tqdm Package faster , Less error prone .
*
progress
With this package , You can easily create a progress bar ：
*
tqdm
tqdm Roughly the same function , But it seems to be the latest . First with gif Some demonstrations in the form of animation ：
12. IPython
I'm sure you know Python Interactive shell for , This is running Python A good way to . But you also know IPython
shell Do you ? If you often use interactive shell , But you don't understand IPython, You should check it !
Enhanced IPython shell Some of the features provided include ：
*
Comprehensive object introspection .
*
Input history , Cross session persistence .
*
Cache output results during sessions with automatically generated references .
*
Tabulation completion , Supported by default python Variables and keywords , Completion of file name and function keywords .
*
“ Magic ” command , Used to control the environment and perform many tasks related to IPython Or operating system related tasks .
*
Session logging and reloading .
*
yes pdb Debugger and Python Integrated access to analyzer .
*
IPython A little-known function of ： Its architecture also allows parallel and distributed computing .
IPython yes Jupyter Notebook Core of , It is an open source Web application program , Allows you to create and share code that contains real-time code , equation , Visualization and narrative text documents .
13. Homeassistant
I like home automation . It's a hobby for me , But I still apologize for that , Because it now controls most of our houses . I use Home
Assistant Tie all the systems in the house together . Although it is indeed a complete application , However, you can also install it as Python PyPI software package .
Most of our lamps are automated , So are the shutters .
I monitor our natural gas consumption , Electricity consumption and output （ Solar panel ）.
