Astropy is a collection of software packages written in the Python programming language and designed for use in astronomy. [2] The software is a single, free, core package for astronomical utilities due to the increasingly widespread usage of Python by astronomers, and to foster interoperability between various extant Python astronomy packages.

Cython is a compiled language that is typically used to generate CPython extension modules. Annotated Python-like code is compiled to C and then automatically wrapped in interface code, producing extension modules that can be loaded and used by regular Python code using the import statement, but with significantly less computational overhead at ...
Pygame was originally written by Pete Shinners to replace PySDL after its development stalled. [2] [8] It has been a community project since 2000 [9] and is released under the free software GNU Lesser General Public License [5] (which "provides for Pygame to be distributed with open source and commercial software" [10]).
Pip's command-line interface allows the install of Python software packages by issuing a command: pip install some-package-name. Users can also remove the package by issuing a command: pip uninstall some-package-name. pip has a feature to manage full lists of packages and corresponding version numbers, possible through a "requirements" file.

SciPy (pronounced / ˈ s aɪ p aɪ / "sigh pie" [2]) is a free and open-source Python library used for scientific computing and technical computing. [3]SciPy contains modules for optimization, linear algebra, integration, interpolation, special functions, FFT, signal and image processing, ODE solvers and other tasks common in science and engineering.
The Python Distribution Utilities (distutils) Python module was first added to the Python standard library in the 1.6.1 release, in September 2000, and in the 2.0 release, in October 2000, nine years after the first Python release in February 1991, with the goal of simplifying the process of installing third-party Python packages.
MicroPython is a lean and efficient implementation of Python with libraries similar to those in Python. [25] Some standard Python libraries have an equivalent library in MicroPython renamed to distinguish between the two. MicroPython libraries are smaller with less popular features removed or modified to save memory. [19]
Moreover, complementary Python packages are available; SciPy is a library that adds more MATLAB-like functionality and Matplotlib is a plotting package that provides MATLAB-like plotting functionality. Although matlab can perform sparse matrix operations, numpy alone cannot perform such operations and requires the use of the scipy.sparse library.
