Python's standard library has (to take three examples) threads, processes, and datetime functions. Meanwhile, PyQt has QThread, QProcess, and QDateTime.
Does this redundancy exist for C++ programmers who are programming Qt directly, and who may lack a standard C++ library with these features? Are the Python wrappers simply provided for completeness, or do these libraries truly function differently? When writing a PyQt application, how does one choose between the standard library and the PyQt library? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
