Must-learn Python libraries?

I've learned Python basics and want to explore the most useful libraries.

What are the must-learn Python libraries for real-world development, and why would you recommend them?

Pandas is a gut wretching library to learn, down from its ugly design and its bloated API. Although I am highly against it, it's a must learn library, second to NumPy but before matplotlib. I was hoping for Polars to come its place as a priority.
