Cheat Sheet: Python libraries

This handy cheat sheet provides an overview of the most commonly used Python libraries. With so many available Python libraries, it can be difficult for beginners to decide which ones are suitable. This cheat sheet categorises popular libraries by their specific fields of application and provides guidance on when to use and learn them. This cheat sheet is part of a series of cheat sheets created by Rhine-Ruhr Centre for Scientific Data Literacy.
