What Python libraries and tools are most useful for working in Data Science and Analytics?

Matthew C. asked a question to Steve T.

Hi, I'm curious about data science, and I wanted to know what libraries and tools you use most often, and why they are so useful. I'm trying to get familiar with best practices in Python and would appreciate guidance on what libraries are most effective for different tasks.

    For me NumPy, SciPy and Pandas are the most frequently used. SckKit-Learn is also quite important. Data Visualization is a great way to share your discoveries (the eye's are the fastest data processors) so Matplotlib and Seaborn.
