Python is widely used in various application domains, including:
- Web Development: Frameworks like; Django, Flask, and more recently FastAPI. Make Python a popular choice for web development.
- Data Science: Libraries like NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn enable data analysis and machine learning tasks.
- Automation: Python’s ease of use and flexibility make it a popular choice for automating tasks and workflows.
- Artificial Intelligence: Python is used in AI and machine learning applications, including natural language processing and computer vision. Recently popular AI libraries such as LangChain have a python first SDK.
