Wow, there are some great new tools to explore.  Thanks!<p>Some of the new libraries I&#x27;m using this year that I&#x27;ve found really handy include:<p>Odo - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;odo.readthedocs.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;latest&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;odo.readthedocs.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;latest&#x2F;</a>  It is ridiculously handy for converting data from one format to another - especially for transforming a table from a database or csv into a DataFrame and back.<p>Arrow - Makes for quick datetime processing. - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;crsmithdev.com&#x2F;arrow&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;crsmithdev.com&#x2F;arrow&#x2F;</a><p>Xlsxwriter - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xlsxwriter.readthedocs.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xlsxwriter.readthedocs.org</a> - I&#x27;m building beautiful reports, with charts, using this tool.  As someone who moves data around a lot, but has to work with less technical business and analyst folks, this is becoming my goto for handing them some data to play with.<p>Blessings - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pypi.python.org&#x2F;pypi&#x2F;blessings" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pypi.python.org&#x2F;pypi&#x2F;blessings</a> - as I get older staring at simple black and white text on the screen seems to be getting harder.  Putting a little color and flare in my command line interfaces cheers me up even if  it doesn&#x27;t do much in the way of actually getting the job done.<p>Lastly, switching from curl to httpie was a huge help in working with API&#x27;s of all sorts.  It solved a problem I didn&#x27;t even know I had. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pypi.python.org&#x2F;pypi&#x2F;httpie" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pypi.python.org&#x2F;pypi&#x2F;httpie</a>
