What library do you import into the Python code?

You can import a module contained in the Python Standard Library without installing a module into your system. You can also use pip to install modules, or even create your own.
Can I write C in Python?
We can cite Cython or Numba that transform Python code into C executable and require minimal addition to the existing Python code. There is also Ctypes that provides C compatible data types, and allows calling functions from external libraries, e.g. calling pre-compiled C functions.
Can you use ctypes with C libraries in Python?
Although it is mostly used to consume C and C++ libraries, you can use ctypes with libraries written in any language that can export a C compatible API, e.g. Fortran, Rust. The advantage of using ctypes is that it is already included with your Python installation and that, in theory, you can call any C or C++ shared or dynamic libraries.
Are there any Python libraries for data science?
People in Data Science de f initely know about the Python libraries that can be used in Data Science but when asked in an interview to name them or state its function, we often fumble up or probably not remember more than 5 libraries (it happened with me :/)
How to pass struct data from Python to C?
Passing struct data to and from C using Python. Using the ctypes module in Python it is possible to pass simple Python objects to C very easily. This circumvents writing your own wrappers to map data types.
How do you declare a struct in Python?
To declare the struct in Python requires the creation of new class based on the ctypes.Structure object : The data in the new Data class is declared in the _fields_ list of tuples which contain the field name and data type. The order of the fields when declaring the new Data class must correspond to the field order in the C header file.
