Summary

You have looked at multiple modules in the Standard Library and how they help you write well-tested and easier-to-read code. However, there are still many more modules to explore and understand in order to use them effectively though. We have learned that Python comes with batteries included, through its vast Standard Library, and that in many situations, the utilities it provides are extended through an advanced API. By having the mindset of checking how things can be solved with the Standard Library before trying to write your own code, you can become a better Python programmer.

Now that you have some knowledge of the Standard Library, you will start to look more deeply into how to make our code easier to read for Python programmers, usually known as Pythonic code. While using the Standard Library as much as possible is a good start, there are some other tips and tricks that we will look at in Chapter 7, Becoming Pythonic.
