Python is in many ways the anti-JavaScript when it comes to packaging. Where JavaScript will have a installable package that contains a single trivial function, Python packages will bundle hundreds of functions, all vaguely related to an area, with no easy way of just installing what you actually need.
- noitpmeder 3y agoMy experience has been exactly the opposite, with two exceptions: pandas and numpy. Generally every other library works in terms of standard python types where possible. Very few other places will you see things like a re-implementation of a time library.
