   Python: 50 modules for all needs…

   [...]One thing I really love with the Python programming language is its incredible extensibility. Here’s a list of 50 awesome modules for Python, covering almost all needs: Databases, GUIs, Images, Sound, OS interaction, Web, and more.[...]…

   A great game module is pyglet (http://www.pyglet.org).

   Instead of Soya (which gives a 404), you should probably list PySoy (http://www.pysoy.org/).

   @André: Thanks for your contribution! Both modules has been added to the list

    Also, for network applications, there’s Twisted. http://twistedmatrix.com/

    Looks like you missed pymsn for MSN stuff, looks like it supports newer MSN protocols

    How can it not have [BeautifulSoup](http://crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup) on it?

14. Luke Maurits said: June 16, 2008 at 5:38 pm

    Vpython (http://vpython.org/) has a very nice “visual” module for simple 3D programming in Python.

    Post updated with the three last contributions. Thanks!

    Jeepers, haven’t you pythonistas gotten round to doing something like CPAN? Doesn’t all this grubbing for one module here, another module there hearken back to, I dunno, the days of FORTRAN?

    “Jeepers, haven’t you pythonistas gotten round to doing something like CPAN? Doesn’t all this grubbing for one module here, another module there hearken back to, I dunno, the days of FORTRAN?”

    I haven’t checked, but I suspect that the vast majority of these modules are on.

    construct – parser/generator for protocols, declarative style. Used it for a number of protocols, much more fun then writing parsers by hand: http://construct.wikispaces.com/
    also ipython – not technically a library, but can be used as one (embed a shell in an app for debugging purposes).

    For “games,” I’d suggest Panda3D, which is more than a single module, but also does a lot more than the other modules listed. (Pirates of the Caribbean is written in Panda3D)

    Nice list, thanks. I think it’d be useful to include mpi4py too.

    py2exe- turns your code into a cool .exe

44. Jason S said: April 17, 2010 at 9:52 am

    Neat list. Not every module might be to everyone’s taste (3 for MSN messenger interoperability? Really?) but it’s a good idea to show off some top modules. I’d add M2Crypto, which is an OpenSSL wrapper and a great all-round encryption library.

    And yes, most (nearly all) important Python packages live on PyPi and can be installed with pip (or easy_install, part of setuptools). Python actually has pretty good package management, once you look into the capabilities of pip and virtualenv (cleanroom package deployment.)

    I’d say add them to the list too, but they’re more utilities than modules.

45. Casey Strouse said: March 22, 2011 at 12:48 pm

    I have found a lot of really awesome libraries through Google Code. I’ve been compiling a list and posting about my favorite libraries on my website.

    Two of my favorites so far are gdata-python-client and yql, for working with the Google APIss and Yahoo Query Language, respectively.

46. Julius said: July 13, 2011 at 4:51 am

    Thanks guys this is great, it would also work better if all the modules are compacted into one exe file. thanks
