Learn Python Third party Modules

Third party modules are libraries created by other developers and are not included with Python by default. They extend Python’s capabilities and help solve real-world problems efficiently.

Installing using pip

pip is the package manager used to install third-party modules.

You can also install specific versions:

Note

Make sure Python and pip are properly installed and configured in your system.

Example: requests Module

Used for making HTTP requests (API calls, web data fetching).

Example: numpy Module

Used for numerical computations and working with arrays.

Pro Tip

Always use alias like np for numpy, as it is a widely accepted convention.

Checking Installed Packages

Upgrading a Package

Uninstalling a Package

Why Third party Modules are Important

Save development time
Provide advanced features
Reduce complexity
Used in real world applications

Examples:

Web development
Data science
Machine learning
Automation

Caution

Only install trusted packages to avoid security risks.

Exercise

Install requests module
Make an API call and print response
Install numpy and create an array
Perform one operation on the array
