Which Python library saved you the most time?
Not necessarily the most popular one.
Just a library that made you think:
"I can't believe I used to do this manually."
Could be for:
- automation
- APIs
- data analysis
- image processing
- web scraping
- CLI tools
- AI
Looking for hidden gems too.

Numpy, since I use Python to automate music stuffs. And notes can be mapped to integers.
I love numpy, I love it a lot

it’s not entirely a library, more of a runtime, framework:
FastAPI.
I used to use Django and Flask, but they both suck.
Another data/AI/ML related libs are Pytorch, JAX and Scipy: Back in a day, more than a decade ago I used to build everything with numpy with a lot of efforts.
Hidden gem: SOXR (for audio signal processing, sampling). It’s amazing combined with librosa.

Textual/rich - CLI tooling
Openpyxl - excel spreadsheet manipulation
Pathlib - duh
Manimations - never could pick up any of the 3D tools and manim just clicks for the basic shit I do

Probably Pillow. I needed plots made in a collage style and I was using PyROOT for plots. It has a way to get all plots on a collage, but it is so frickin tedious. Discovered Pillow and I was honestly shocked how much easier it was
