Python developers, where do you draw the line with third-party libraries? 👀

I was thinking about how easy Python makes it to solve problems with packages. Need authentication? There's a library. Background tasks? There's a library. PDF generation, image processing, API integrations? There's probably a package for that too. And honestly, that's one of Python's biggest strengths. But I've started paying more attention to dependencies before adding them to a project. Maintenance, security, compatibility, and whether the package is worth introducing for something I could implement simply. For me, it usually comes down to how complex the problem is and how much responsibility I want to take on. What's one Python library you absolutely love, and one you eventually stopped using? Why? I'm curious to see what everyone has experienced. #Python #SoftwareEngineering #BackendDevelopment
