Here are the five reasons why you should learn Python:

  1. Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. With Python, you can build algorithms using statistics to allow computers to perform different actions. Python is quite useful in Artificial Intelligence with libraries such as Keras that deals with neural network experimentation.

2. Data Science

One of the most trending field of this decade. It has a heavy use of Python programming. Python allows the programmer to write python scripts to automate stuff, develop websites, and much more. Analysis of big data with Python. One of the major reasons is that it provides many libraries and frameworks such as PyBrain, NumPy, SymPy, PyMySQL, etc.

3. Huge Community Of Python Programmers

It is rightly said that together we can achieve more. Therefore, the python community is always there to help you out. You can use Google to search for your query. Stack Overflow and Reddit is also a great place to look for answers to your problems.

4. Python enables automation

You can write scripts that can automate things for you. You can automate the boring stuff. Tasks include Fill Out Forms, Send reminder emails, Personal Bot, Youtube Statistics, Update, and Format Data in Excel Sheets of any size. Also, it can automate different tasks that significantly reduces the time and energy spent on them.

5. Web Development

Python has a lot of libraries and frameworks such as Django, web2py, Flask, bottle.py, CherryPy, Pyramid, etc. I personally use Flask to make dynamic mobile applications. Flask’s framework is more explicit than Django’s framework and is also easier to learn because it has less base code to implement a simple web-Application.
