Difference between third party modules libraries?

this is an odd question to ask, it's actually my first here on stackoverflow. I'm learning about Python and it's benefits, and came across a webpage that says that some of the benefits of Python are:

Presence of third party modules and extensive support libraries

. To my understanding (so far) these are the same thing.

As per the article third party modules are those imported through PyPi (or other methods) - for example the numpy module; extensive support libraries are part of the standard library that you do not need to download (batteries included) - for example collections

  1. Presence of Third Party Modules: The Python Package Index (PyPI) contains numerous third-party modules that make Python capable of interacting with most of the other languages and platforms.

  2. Extensive Support Libraries: Python provides a large standard library which includes areas like internet protocols, string operations, web services tools and operating system interfaces. Many high use programming tasks have already been scripted into the standard library which reduces length of code to be written significantly.

Note that in your program you still need to import these modules

from collections import Counter
import numpy as np
