32 Open Source Libraries for Python’s 32nd Birthday
Happy Birthday Python!
Guido van Rossum created Python on this day, February 20th, in 1991. In the last 32 years Python has become one of the most popular programming languages in the world with over 15 million developers! There are even entire sites dedicated to people learning Python such as RealPython, PythonAlgos, and LearnPython. Along with full sites devoted to Python, there are over 137k open source libraries! Let’s take a look at 32 amazing open source libraries for Python’s 32nd birthday.
The most popular use case of Python is AI/ML so that’s where these libraries are coming from. The order of the libraries is arbitrary
