5 Unique and Useful Python modules.

Motive

There are different types of modules in python which not everyone knows so we thought of introducing them to you guys. Let's start!

Note: This is not a tutorial of how to use these but is to show that these modules also exist and if you want to know more you can visit there own page and if you want us to explain leave a comment below. Links to there page are also given below. Hope you found something useful.

1.Wikipedia

Yes, there is a module called Wikipedia in python, you can easily install Wikipedia by pip install wikipedia. We cannot rely on this module for advanced use. It was designed for ease of use and simplicity. Learn More Here.

Here is a simple example:

import wikipedia

wikiPython = wikipedia.summary("Python", sentences=2)

print(wikiPython)

One big disadvantage is that it works only if the internet is connected to your device. You can even control the number of sentences that you need.

2.Webbrowser

This is an inbuilt module in python, so no pip install needed. with this module, we can open websites in just one line of code.

This is an example of opening google with webbrowser:

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open("google.com")

One big problem with this code is it opens google.com in internet explorer. You can solve this issue by visiting there official website Learn More Here. and then we can open them in your preferred browser.

3.SMPTLIB

This is a module used for sending email through Gmail or other mail services, The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Library helps us to sent mail to any Internet machine. This module is also pre-installed in python so again no pip installs.

import smtplib

def Email(to, message):
    
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com',587)
    server.ehlo()
    server.starttls()
    server.login('youremail@gmail.com','yourPassword')
    server.sentemail('youremail@gmail.com', to, message)
    server.close()

To = 'toEmail@gmail.com'
Message = 'I Love Python'

Email(To, Message)

To send an email from a Gmail account you have to first allow less secured apps in Gmail. If you haven't enforced access to less secured apps in your Gmail, this won't work. you can allow less secured apps by following the steps given here.

4.PYTTSX3

This a module that helps to convert text-to-speech, and it works offline. We can easily install it by pip install pyttsx3, and if you get any error about pypiwin32 just install it by pip install pypiwin32. Learn More Here.

This is an example of text to speech with pyttsx3:

import pyttsx3
    
engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')

rate = engine.getProperty('rate')                         
engine.setProperty('rate', 165) 

david = voices[0].id # male voice
zira = voices[1].id  # female voice

engine.setProperty('voices', david)

def speak(audio):
    engine.say(audio)
    engine.runAndWait()
    
speak('I Love Python!')
