This is the code repository for Modern Python Standard Library Cookbook, published by Packt.

Build optimized applications in Python by smartly implementing the standard library

The Python 3 Standard Library is a vast array of modules that you can use for developing various kinds of applications. It contains an exhaustive list of libraries, and this book will help you choose the best one to address specific programming problems in Python.

This book covers the following exciting features: Store multiple values per key in associative containers Create interactive character-based user interfaces Work with native time and display data for your time zone Read/write SGML family languages, both as a SAX and DOM parser to meet file sizes and other requirements Group equivalent items using itertools and sorted features together Use partials to create unary functions out of multi-argument functions Implement hashing algorithms to store passwords in a safe way
