Final Comments

This has been a whirlwind tour

  • Everything covered is part of the standard Python distribution.
  • However, there are well over 150 standard modules in the standard library.
  • And we only looked at a small subset.

Experiment!

  • Python is a great language for experimentation.
  • Fire up the interpreter and start typing commands.
  • This is a great way to learn about the various modules
