Framework or Library

Scikit-learn

Scikit-learn is one of the most widely used libraries in machine learning. It’s a Python module developed on top of NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib. David Cournapeau started the project as a Google Summer of Code project with name.scikit.learn. Today, a large community of volunteers contributes to the project.

It also is one of the most popular machine learning libraries available on GitHub. The framework integrates well with many other Python libraries, such as Plotly, Matplotlib, Pandas, and NumPy. Many reputable organizations are using it such as J.P. Morgan, Spotify, Evernote, AWeber, and Dataiku.
