How can I use the Python standard library effectively?

The Python standard library is a collection of modules and packages that come with Python. You can use it to perform various tasks without needing to install additional libraries. What specific functionality are you interested in?

I'm interested in file handling. Can you give me some examples?

Sure! You can use the os and shutil modules for file handling. For example, to read a file, you can use open() and read(). Would you like to see a code snippet?

Yes, please show me a code snippet for reading a file.

Here's a simple example:

with open('example.txt', 'r') as file:
    content = file.read()
    print(content)
``` This will read the contents of 'example.txt' and print it.

That's helpful! What about writing to a file?

To write to a file, you can use the open() function with the 'w' mode. Here's an example:

with open('output.txt', 'w') as file:
    file.write('Hello, World!')
``` This will create 'output.txt' and write 'Hello, World!' to it.
