2018's Top 7 Python Libraries for Data Science and AI

Editor's note: This post covers Favio's selections for the top 7 Python libraries of 2018. Tomorrow's post will cover his top 7 R packages of the year. If you follow me, you know that this year I started a series called Weekly Digest for Data Science and AI: Python & R, where I highlighted the best libraries, repos, packages, and tools that help us be better data scientists for all kinds of tasks. The great folks at Heartbeat sponsored a lot of these digests, and they asked me to create a list of the best of the best--those libraries that really changed or improved the way we worked this year (and beyond). Disclaimer: This list is based on the libraries and packages I reviewed in my personal newsletter.
