Python Machine Learning Libraries

Here I have listed 10 most useful python libraries for Data science.

Pandas
Numpy
scipy
matplotlib
seaborn
scikit learn
Tensorflow
keras
statsmodels
plotly

The Reason I listed the libraries is I couldn't list the All libraries in an interview. I think this may help you too.

Get Directory of the current python script

Aasik Muththalif — Sun, 16 Feb 2020 19:18:36 +0000

using Python os module, we can get the current directory of python scripts and change the directory. The os module is included in the standard library, so no additional installation is required. This module provides a portable way of using operating system dependent functionality.

Here the following contents will be described.

Get the current working Directory
os.getcwd() returns the absolute path of the working directory where python is currently running as a string.

import os
currentDirectory = os.getcwd()
print("Current Working Directory")
print(currentDirectory)

Change the current working directory
We use chdir() to change the directory.

import os
os.chdir("D/python")
print("Directory Changed")
print(os.getcwd())

I hope this will help you to understand about directories and python.
