I haven’t seen the book, but I would say most definitely. A good book 
would not just describe the libraries, but also how to use them 
effectively.

There’s a decent amount in the standard Python libraries, but even more so 
in the huge number of third-party libraries. This is all part of the 
“batteries included” Python philosophy.
