Welcome to Day 75! Today’s journey introduces you to the diverse and extensive world of Python libraries and frameworks. Python’s strength lies in its vast ecosystem, offering libraries and frameworks for almost every task imaginable. Let’s dive into some of these powerful tools that can supercharge your Python projects.

1. Image Processing with Pillow

• Pillow: A fork of PIL (Python Imaging Library), Pillow is the go-to library for opening, manipulating, and saving different image file formats.
• Applications: Image transformations, filters, enhancements, and more.
• Getting Started:

from PIL import Image, ImageFilter

# Open an image
image = Image.open('example.jpg')

# Apply a filter
blurred = image.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)

# Save the modified image
blurred.save('blurred_example.jpg')

2. Web Scraping with Beautiful Soup

• Beautiful Soup: A library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files. It provides idiomatic ways of navigating, searching, and modifying the parse tree.
• Use Case: Extracting data from web pages, automating the gathering of information from websites.
