Abstract
As with any program language, it’s important to understand what is going on underneath because it helps you write more explicit, simpler, performant, and correct code. The building blocks of a language (its data structures and API) when used correctly can make an operation trivial and when used incorrectly can make an operation overly complex if not impossible. Python packages are no different.
