'Is there a difference between pyplot Circle and patches Circle?

I tried to check the documentation, but I couldn't find matplotlib.Circle in it. I also checked matplotlib.patches.circle and couldn't see anything saying that matplotlib.Circle is a place holder of matplotlib.patches.circle.

Do they operate differently?

Thank you.

Edit: I forgot that plt is a very common abbreviation for matplotlib.pyplot rather than matplotlib itself, which resulted in this question.
