What are Packages?

Python has a standard library that contains many different modules which serve different purposes. However, we are not limited to these modules.

Developers from all over the world have contributed to increasing the functionality of Python through packages.

Packages are also collections of modules or smaller packages that assist us in performing certain tasks. The only difference is that these packages have to be installed before they can be imported.

All of these packages can be found at the Python Package Index, PyPI.
