The modules described in this chapter provide a variety of specialized data types such as dates and times, fixed-type arrays, heap queues, synchronized queues, and sets.
Python also provides some built-in data types, in particular,
dict, list, set and frozenset, and
tuple. The str class is used to hold
Unicode strings, and the bytes class is used to hold binary data.
The following modules are documented in this chapter:
datetime — Basic date and time types
calendar — General calendar-related functionscollections — Container datatypes
collections.abc — Abstract Base Classes for Containers
heapq — Heap queue algorithm
bisect — Array bisection algorithm
array — Efficient arrays of numeric valuesweakref — Weak references
types — Dynamic type creation and names for built-in types
copy — Shallow and deep copy operationspprint — Data pretty printer
reprlib — Alternate repr() implementation
enum — Support for enumerations
