Python has a ``batteries included'' philosophy. This is best seen
through the sophisticated and robust capabilities of its larger
packages. For example:
* The \module{xmlrpclib} and \module{SimpleXMLRPCServer} modules make
implementing remote procedure calls into an almost trivial task.
Despite the names, no direct knowledge or handling of XML is needed.
* The \ulink{\module{xmlrpclib}}{../lib/module-xmlrpclib.html} and
\ulink{\module{SimpleXMLRPCServer}}{../lib/module-SimpleXMLRPCServer.html}
modules make implementing remote procedure calls into an almost trivial
task. Despite the names, no direct knowledge or handling of XML is needed.
* The \module{email} package is a library for managing email messages,
* The \ulink{\module{email}}{../lib/module-email.html}
package is a library for managing email messages,
including MIME and other RFC 2822-based message documents. Unlike
\module{smtplib} and \module{poplib} which actually send and receive
messages, the email package has a complete toolset for building or
decoding complex message structures (including attachments)
and for implementing internet encoding and header protocols.
* The \module{xml.dom} and \module{xml.sax} packages provide robust
support for parsing this popular data interchange format. Likewise,
* The \ulink{\module{xml.dom}}{../lib/module-xml.dom.html} and
\ulink{\module{xml.sax}}{../lib/module-xml.sax.html} packages provide
robust support for parsing this popular data interchange format. Likewise,
the \module{csv} module supports direct reads and writes in a common
database format. Together, these modules and packages greatly simplify
data interchange between python applications and other tools.
* Internationalization is supported by a number of modules including
\module{gettext}, \module{locale}, and the \module{codecs} package.
\ulink{\module{gettext}}{../lib/module-gettext.html},
\ulink{\module{locale}}{../lib/module-locale.html}, and the
\ulink{\module{codecs}}{../lib/module-codecs.html} package.
