What to use within Python for data science?

Question

Hi, guys!

Could you tell me which is the best Python framework for data analysis, considering that I'm an intermediate with VBA(Excel) and beyond begginer with Python?

Is Pandas easier than Matplot?

Thx,
Vali

Answer 1

The data science toolkit in Python:
numpy - arrays
pandas - dataframes and matrices, also data parsing
matplotlib - plotting (esp. pyplot)
scikit-learn - machine learning
seaborn - data viz based on matplotlib
bokeh - interactive data vizualization

plus data parsing, webscraping, databases (sql, mongodb)... the list goes on... 🐍
