How Python is used in the real world

- Python is capable of handling almost any software development requirement. It heads libraries and packages for web browsers, databases, image manipulation, email, and much more. This makes Python ideal for various real world projects. Curious to learn more? Let's take a look at a few popular use cases. Web development. Django is one of the most used Python web frameworks. It allows teams to not only create websites quickly but to keep scaling them for millions of new users. Some well known sites using Django are Spotify, Discus and Instagram. Next up, animation. Blender is a free and open source tool used for 3D modeling, texturing, and animation. It is powered by Python and even exposes a way for programmers to create animations using Python code. Python is also known for having numerous libraries that specialize in image manipulation. For example, the Scikit-Image library is used for analysis of medical images and to classify images for object detection in machine learning applications. Speaking of which, Python's use in machine learning and artificial intelligence has caused it to explode in popularity over the past several years. Pandas is a data analysis and manipulation tool. It's built on top of the Python programming language. Machine learning engineers use libraries like Pandas to process large amounts of data from various sources. Python's ease of use, simplicity, and security make it a go-to language for software development.
