5 Python libraries to lighten your machine learning load

Machine learning is exciting, but the work is complex and difficult. It typically involves a lot of manual lifting -- assembling workflows and pipelines, setting up data sources, and shunting back and forth between on-prem and cloud-deployed resources. The more tools you have in your belt to ease that job, the better. Thankfully, Python is a giant tool belt of a language that's widely used in big data and machine learning. Here are five Python libraries that help relieve the heavy lifting for those trades.
