Almost all of us have read a comment about Python, perhaps you are also interested in this programming language; That being the case, you are most likely wondering: Why is Python being commented on almost everywhere or being promoted?
Python is very easy to use and learn, but that's not the only reason it became popular.
The vast majority know that Python can work in almost any field, it is used in big data and data science with well-known libraries such as Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, it has applications for the creation of task automation scripts, video games with Pygame, Panda3D, the creation of software tests and prototypes and the list goes on.
Another well-known reason for its popularity is the ease of use, its slight learning curve and the multiple programming paradigms that exist, currently programming is highly sought after on the Internet, there is a lot of content, being again Python, the language with the most documentation (and you can even access the documentation offline: Python Manuals; which you find by downloading the Python interpreter.
With all this in mind, let's look at other aspects of Python that influence its popularity:
Huge number of existing packages and modules
The list of libraries is extensive, PyPi (Python Package Index) is the repository where all of them are published and in addition, there are more than 530,000 projects!, currently, there are several new technology developments with Python, for example Flet, which is a new candidate for the creation of crossplatform apps. What new surprises could the python community bring?

Ok, ok, these fields you may have read much before and they are related to Python, but another important factor is in the increase of professionals in these areas, many years ago data science or AI, they were early specialties, there were few technologies to work with, however, the world is increasingly accelerated, as the emergence of libraries that have tools and also the attractive new research, prompted several people to dedicate themselves to these areas of knowledge, the high demand for these professionals, drew the attention of educational centers and bootcamps to promote these careers, and indeed, Python, being comfortable, was the favorite to start with.
The community itself
The Python community is the one that has the most members than all the others, the marketing impulse and announcements to promote the learning of Python is very high, and as we will understand the community is growing, it is developing new things, it is sharing advances, it is fraternal.
In conclusion, Python is a language that provides various opportunities for computer development, it has been gaining a lot of scope and fame for AI and data science, as programmers, we know that technologies change, and it is part of our world, sooner or later certain technologies will be required, others will appear and some will disappear, knowing these scenarios, as programmers and users of the language we should not depend on one technology, we make the technology, and as in the case of Python with its libraries, it will be the same with other languages.
