Python in recent years has become the primary language of choice for many developers largely due to the rich ecosystem of libraries that extend its use beyond basic programming. In this article, we’ll walk through 9 integral libraries that every developer should know about.
9. os
The os library in Python is a powerful tool enabling interaction with the operating system. It handles file and directory operations, environment variables, manages processes, and extracts system information. It’s particularly useful for generating absolute file paths.

import os
# Get the path of the current file
current_file_path = os.path.realpath(__file__)
# Get the directory containing the current file
current_dir = os.path.dirname(current_file_path)
# Get the parent directory (PythonProject)
parent_directory = os.path.dirname(current_directory)
# Construct the relative path to the log file
absolute_log_path = os.path.join(parent_directory, 'logs', 'tcp.log')
print(absolute_log_path)8. PySimpleGUI
Designing an intuitive interface for your application is an essential part of any software development process, PySimpleGUI makes this process very simple by acting as an abstraction…
