Scripts, Modules, Packages, and Libraries in Python

 


In small groups (of 2-3 students), discuss the following. Then write up your answers and submit as a group on Kit.

  1. What is a Python script? How is it different from a Python module? Give examples of each.
  2. What is a package in Python? Give an example.
  3. What is a Python library?
  4. Discuss 2-3 of the top 30 Python libraries to know. What might they be used for, and how might you use them? How would you go about learning how to use them? What resourcs would you use?

You should take some time to discuss your answers; don't just hastily type up a few quick thoughts. Your responses should be in complete sentences and paragraphs. Make sure your document contains the names of all group participants and then one person submits it on Kit, inviting the others as collaborators.
