50 Important Modules in Python

This week I learnt a lot about Module in Python even I do not post my study notes on this blog anymore.Module, in my understanding, is a standalone Python file containing a sequence of definitions and executable statements and Python itself ships with a large library of default modules.

Here, I summarized 50 really useful Modules including Databases, GUIs, Images, Sound, OS interaction, Web, etc.
