Who is using Python today?

Still not convinced? Let's take a very brief look at the companies using Python today: Google, YouTube, Dropbox, Zope Corporation, Industrial Light & Magic, Walt Disney Feature Animation, Blender 3D, Pixar, NASA, the NSA, Red Hat, Nokia, IBM, Netflix, Yelp, Intel, Cisco, HP, Qualcomm, JPMorgan Chase, and Spotify—to name just a few. Even games such as Battlefield 2, Civilization IV, and The Sims 4 are implemented using Python.

Python is used in many different contexts, such as system programming, web and API programming, GUI applications, gaming and robotics, rapid prototyping, system integration, data science, database applications, real-time communication, and much more. Several prestigious universities have also adopted Python as their main language in computer science courses.
