Uses of Python

Question

I'll give some uses of python

Answer 1

Thread 1

Python can serve as a scripting language for web applications, e.g., via mod_wsgi for the Apache web server. With Web Server Gateway Interface, a standard API has evolved to facilitate these applications. Web frameworks like Django, Pylons, Pyramid, TurboGears, web2py, Tornado, Flask, Bottle and Zope support developers in the design and maintenance of complex applications. Pyjs and IronPython can be used to develop the client-side of Ajax-based applications. SQLAlchemy can be used as data mapper to a relational database. Twisted is a framework to program communications between computers, and is used (for example) by Dropbox.

Answer 2

TL;DR with additions!

1. Automation of boring stuff: web automations, file managements(logs, csv, text etc), data collection
2. AI/ML : Artificial intelligence/Machine learning (google tensorflow)
3. Web dev, includes great backend frameworks such as django, flask
4. Scripting language in software, (3D model movements, image processing, video editing, games(UE)
5. Scientific computing, most famous modules (numpy, matplotlib)
6. Simple stuff that has to do with robotics,(machine vision, simple movements)
7. Education, simple language/syntax so easy to use as first step to the world of code
8. Desktop GUI, graphical user interfaces with tkinter and kivy
AND MANY MORE

Thread 3

Python has been successfully embedded in many software products as a scripting language, including in finite element method software such as Abaqus, 3D parametric modeler like FreeCAD, 3D animation packages such as 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Houdini, Maya, modo, MotionBuilder, Softimage, the visual effects compositor Nuke, 2D imaging programs like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus and Paint Shop Pro, and musical notation programs like scorewriter and capella. GNU Debugger uses Python as a pretty printer to show complex structures such as C++ containers. Esri promotes Python as the best choice for writing scripts in ArcGIS. It has also been used in several video games, and has been adopted as first of the three available programming languages in Google App Engine, the other two being Java and Go. Python is also used in algorithmic trading and quantitative finance. Python can also be implemented in APIs of online brokerages that run on other languages by using wrappers.

Thread 4

Python has been used in artificial intelligence tasks. As a scripting language with module architecture, simple syntax and rich text processing tools, Python is often used for natural language processing tasks.

Many operating systems include Python as a standard component; the language ships with most Linux distributions, AmigaOS 4, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and macOS, and can be used from the terminal. Many Linux distributions use installers written in Python: Ubuntu uses the Ubiquity installer, while Red Hat Linux and Fedora use the Anaconda installer. Gentoo Linux uses Python in its package management system, Portage.

Python has also seen extensive use in the information security industry, including in exploit development.

Most of the Sugar software for the One Laptop per Child XO, now developed at Sugar Labs, is written in Python.

The Raspberry Pi single-board computer project has adopted Python as its main user-programming language.

Answer 5

It’s a high level language processed at runtime by the interpreter their is no need to compile your program before executing it. It’s very popular and used by organizations such as Google, NASA, and CIA.

Answer 6

Thread 2

Libraries such as NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib allow the effective use of Python in scientific computing, with specialized libraries such as Biopython and Astropy providing domain-specific functionality. SageMath is a mathematical software with a "notebook" programmable in Python: its library covers many aspects of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, number theory, and calculus. The Python language re-implemented in Java platform is used for numeric and statistical calculations with 2D/3D visualization by the DMelt project.

Large organizations that make use of Python include Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo!, CERN, NASA, and some smaller entities like ILM, and ITA. The social news networking site Reddit is written entirely in Python.
