Python Utility Functions Overview

This code block includes some functions from Python's built-in libraries from a to z. It includes functions for generating random strings, getting the current time format, calculating the distance between two points, hashing passwords, printing to standard output, loading JSON files, finding all matches, Base64 encoding, and URL encoding.
