Python Core Utilities

Hello folks! 👋

Python comes with a lot of cool and helpful modules, data types, functions, which may not be very well known.

In this series, we are going to see some of the lesser known built-ins and standard libraries that I came across in my time of doing Python. We will look into the details, real-life examples, nuances, internal workings, and some caveats or gotchas as well. Of course, there are still quite some that I haven’t had the chance to deal with, and some that might be too common; let’s figure out which ones to include, as we move ahead in the series.

So, let’s get straight to it! 🚀

Spot on intro to Python's core utils, can't wait for the deep dives into os/sys/pathlib! This series is gonna be a lifesaver for streamlining my scripts. Bookmarked! 🔥 Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your reply! Looking forward to the next posts in the series.
If possible, could you also include the datetime library and its now() and strftime() methods in the upcoming parts? I’m currently learning how to work with date and time in Python, and having some practical examples would really help solidify it.
