5. Miscellaneous Services

The modules described in this chapter provide miscellaneous services that are available in all Python versions. Here's an overview:

`math`	Mathematical functions (`sin()` etc.).
`cmath`	Mathematical functions for complex numbers.
`random`	Generate pseudo-random numbers with various common distributions.
`whrandom`	Floating point pseudo-random number generator.
`bisect`	Array bisection algorithms for binary searching.
`array`	Efficient arrays of uniformly typed numeric values.
`ConfigParser`	Configuration file parser.
`fileinput`	Perl-like iteration over lines from multiple input streams, with ``save in place'' capability.
`calendar`	General functions for working with the calendar, including some emulation of the Unix cal program.
`cmd`	Build line-oriented command interpreters; this is used by module `pdb`.
`shlex`	Simple lexical analysis for Unix shell-like languages.
