As a powerful programming language, Python is favored by many developers because of its simplicity and ease of learning. So, what are the application areas of Python?
In summary, the main application areas of Python are as follows.
Web application development
Python is often used for web development. For example, through the mod_wsgi module, Apache can run Web programs written in Python. Python defines the WSGI standard application interface to coordinate the communication between the HTTP server and Python-based Web programs.
Not only that, some Web frameworks (such as Django, TurboGears, web2py, etc.) allow programmers to easily develop and manage complex Web programs.
To cite the most intuitive example, the world's largest search engine Google uses the Python language extensively in its web search system. In addition, the Douban.com, a collection of movies, reading, and music that we often visit, is also implemented using Python.
Operating system management, automated operation and maintenance development
In many operating systems, Python is a standard system component. Most Linux distributions, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X integrate Python, and you can run Python directly in the terminal.
There are some installers for Linux distributions written in Python, such as the Ubiquity installer for Ubuntu, the Anaconda installer for Red Hat Linux and Fedora, and so on.
In addition, the Python standard library contains a number of libraries that can be used to call operating system functions. For example, through the pywin32 package, we can access Windows COM services and other Windows APIs; using IronPython, we can directly call the .Net Framework.
Generally, system management scripts written in Python are superior to ordinary shell scripts in terms of readability, performance, code reuse, and scalability.
game development
Many games use C++ to write graphics display and other high-performance modules, while Python or Lua is used to write game logic. Compared with Python, Lua has simpler functions and smaller size; while Python supports more features and data types.
Writing server software
Python has perfect support for various network protocols, so it is often used to write server software and web crawlers.
For example, Python's third-party library Twisted, which supports asynchronous network programming and most standard network protocols (including client and server), and provides a variety of tools, so it is widely used to write high-performance server software.
Scientific Computing
NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib allow Python programmers to write scientific computing programs.
The above are just the tip of the iceberg in the field of Python applications. In general, the Python language can not only be applied to fields such as network programming and game development, but also in graphics and image processing, robots, crawling data, automated operation and maintenance, etc. Show the prominence and provide developers with a simple and elegant programming experience.
Knowledge point expansion:
**So what can Python do? **
Website back-end programmer: Using it for a single-room website, the back-end service is easier to maintain.
Automated operation and maintenance: automated processing of a large number of operation and maintenance tasks
Data Analyst: Quickly develop and verify quickly, analyze data and get results
Automated testing: written as a simple implementation script, used in Selenium/lr to achieve automation.
Website development: Build your own website with the help of django and flask framework.
Crawlers obtain or process a large amount of information: download American TV series in batches, run investment strategies, crawl suitable listings, script tasks for system administrators, etc.
