Learning python without 3rd party libraries is great if you aren't already a programmer. The author's view is likely to change after he works professionally as a programmer for a period of time.
It's good advice for non-programmers just starting out though.
- cwyers 9y agoNo it's not. It is so much easier to do his CSV example with Pandas than with the standard library components he mentions. There are many, many settings where doing so with Pandas are how the experienced people are doing it. If you are a non-programmer trying to learn enough Python to do your non-programming job, learning how to do it the easy way that everyone that's your peer is using is a better answer than doing it this harder way.
