<p>Python is a general-purpose programming language. Programmers use it to do many different things, even specific tasks like writing scripts for automation. But Python does not end with these simple tasks. There are many more global fields where you can use Python, such as data science. And the bigger the domain, the more the programmer needs to know.</p>
