What type of things people are building with Python? So, many questions like this will be in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing to worry about, in this article we will be covering everything and discuss the top 10 real-world Python applications.<\/p>\n<h3>Applications of Python<a href=\"https:\/\/techvidvan.com\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/Applications-of-python.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-74187 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/techvidvan.com\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/Applications-of-python.jpg\" alt=\"Python applications\" width=\"802\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start discussing the Python applications in detail:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Web Development<\/h4>\n<p>Python is used for <strong>web development<\/strong> and <strong>internet applications<\/strong>. Web frameworks like<strong> Django<\/strong> and <strong>Flask<\/strong> are one of the most popular frameworks. They allow you to write <strong>server-side code<\/strong> in Python language.<\/p>\n<p>With a framework, it becomes easier to build backend logic like mapping different <strong>URLs<\/strong> to <strong>Python code<\/strong>, dealing with <strong>databases<\/strong> and generating <strong>HTML files<\/strong> to view on the user\u2019s device.<\/p>\n<p>The standard library of Python supports many internet protocols like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HTML<\/li>\n<li>JSON and XML<\/li>\n<li>Email processing<\/li>\n<li>FTP and IMAP<\/li>\n<li>Socket interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2. Desktop GUI Applications<\/h4>\n<p>You can build desktop applications along with their GUI all in Python.<\/p>\n<p>Python has a <strong>simple syntax<\/strong>, <strong>modular architecture<\/strong>, and a rich set of <strong>tools<\/strong> that can work on various operating systems. This is the reason why it is suitable for desktop applications.<\/p>\n<p>The platform-independent GUI toolkits that you can use are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>wxWidgets<\/li>\n<li>Tkinter<\/li>\n<li>Qt<\/li>\n<li>Gtk+<\/li>\n<li>FLTK<\/li>\n<li>Kivy<\/li>\n<li>OpenGL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>3. Scientific and Numeric Calculations<\/h4>\n<p>A lot of scientists, researchers, programmers, and statisticians use Python for scientific and numeric calculations.<\/p>\n<p>Python\u2019s <strong>simplicity<\/strong> and <strong>ability<\/strong> to handle operations with large numbers makes it pretty useful in scientific calculations. There are ample of libraries available for <strong>Scientific<\/strong> and <strong>numeric<\/strong> calculations.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SciPy<\/li>\n<li>Pandas<\/li>\n<li>IPython<\/li>\n<li>Numpy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>4. Data Science<\/h4>\n<p>Data science is one of the hottest fields where Python is involved deeply in the roots.<\/p>\n<p>Python is used to <strong>process<\/strong> <strong>large amounts of data<\/strong>, <strong>clean the data<\/strong>, <strong>building machine learning models<\/strong> and <strong>visualize data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the important libraries for data science are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Numpy<\/li>\n<li>Pandas<\/li>\n<li>Scikit-learn<\/li>\n<li>Tensorflow<\/li>\n<li>Keras<\/li>\n<li>Pythorch<\/li>\n<li>Matplotlib<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>5. Software Development<\/h4>\n<p>In software development, Python is mostly used as a <strong>support language<\/strong> for <strong>building control<\/strong> and <strong>management<\/strong>, <strong>testing<\/strong> and <strong>automating<\/strong> the workflow.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SCons \u2013 build-control.<\/li>\n<li>Buildbot and Apache Gump \u2013 automation and continuous compilation and testing.<\/li>\n<li>Roundup or Trac \u2013 project management and bug-tracking.<\/li>\n<li>Tools like Selenium can be used with Python for testing web applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>6. Education<\/h4>\n<p>Python is the most preferred language for <strong>beginners<\/strong> and for <strong>teaching purposes<\/strong>. It is a good choice to learn about programming and computer science concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Python forms custom applications without writing additional code.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Business Applications<\/h4>\n<p>Python has fantastic features like special <strong>libraries<\/strong>, <strong>scalability<\/strong>, <strong>extensibility<\/strong>, and <strong>simplicity<\/strong>. Larger applications can be easily customized using Python.<\/p>\n<p>A popular website Reddit which was originally written in Common Lisp was rewritten with Python in 2005. Youtube also uses Python for some of its functionalities.<\/p>\n<p>Python is a great choice for developing <strong>ERP<\/strong> and <strong>E-commerce<\/strong> systems.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tryton \u2013 A three-tier, high-level general-purpose application platform.<\/li>\n<li>Odoo \u2013 It\u2019s an all-rounder management software with a range of business applications. With that, it forms a complete suite of enterprise-management applications in-effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>8. Games and 3D Graphics<a href=\"https:\/\/techvidvan.com\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/game-development-in-python-techvidvan.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-74223 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/techvidvan.com\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/game-development-in-python-techvidvan.gif\" alt=\"Python applications in game development\" width=\"636\" height=\"464\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>This is an interesting part for everyone, making games are very exciting as you can create anything with your imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Python has some amazing libraries, some of them are <strong>PyGame<\/strong> and <strong>PyOpenGL<\/strong>. You can build wonderful games with these libraries. You can create 3D graphics with Python OpenGL and Blender 3d API.<\/p>\n<p>If you love game development, then you should check out <strong>PyWeek<\/strong> which hosts interesting gaming contests.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Network Programming<\/h4>\n<p>Python is also used in making connections between <strong>client<\/strong> and <strong>server<\/strong>, <strong>socket programming<\/strong> and <strong>network programming<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It supports lower-level network programming.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twisted Python &#8211; Framework for asynchronous network programming.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to use socket interface for socket programming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>10. Database Access<\/h4>\n<p>After all these possibilities, how can Python lack behind in connectivity with databases?<\/p>\n<p>Python is also used in server-side programming where it connects to <strong>SQL<\/strong> or <strong>NoSQL<\/strong> databases and performs database operations.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the libraries for working with databases are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PyMySQL &#8211; to work with MySQL database.<\/li>\n<li>PyMongo &#8211; to work with MongoDB NoSQL database.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p>Python has a broad range of applications and it can be used for literally anything.<\/p>\n<p>This article focused on the applications of Python and we saw how Python is being used in <strong>web development<\/strong>, <strong>software development<\/strong>, <strong>game development<\/strong>, <strong>network programming<\/strong>, <strong>data science<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I hope our Python applications article was helpful to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a beginner in Python programming or already have some experience in it, you must be curious about What exactly Python is used for?
