you're a genius,please scroll down to see where it is used

Facebook:

Have you ever thought how Facebook's auto tagging of people present in the photo works, it's all in the game of Python.They use python image recognition to do that

Pytorch one of the deep learning frameworks is developed by Facebook and it is written in Python (we will talk about Pytorch in future article)

Instagram:

Instagram website is build with Django Python web framework,one of the most popular web frameworks. I am no joking it is a fact.

Netflix:

Like Instagram, Netflix is also developed with Django apart from that it also uses Python for streaming the video.Next time when you're watching "13 Reasons Why" in Netflix don't forget to say thanks to Python for streaming you're video

Demand for Python:

1.Internet of Things{industry 4.0}

2.Artificial Intelligence

are the two things that is going to rule the future.Python play a inevitable role in both the things.

1.Internet of Things:

Raspberry pi a microprocessor,is coded in python.

As many devices are going to be connected in internet there may be security issues,where again Python play a role in penetration testing and security.

2.Artificial Intelligence:

Python become the programmers choice in the field of Artificial Intelligence.Deep learning which is the subset of getting more attention due availability of huge data(Big data) became easy to use if Python is considered. Pytorch is one the deep learning frameworks which is written in Python.

Embedded Learning Library(ELL):

It's a opensource library for embedded AI developed by Microsoft.It's used for using Machine Learning model in resource constrained platforms and small single-board computers, like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and micro:bit.

Presently it's available for Raspberry pi.For detail click here

Where is Python?

You can download python from official website Python.org.Two versions of python available,2.7 and 3.7 it is recommended to go with the latest version 3.7 because, Python is going to give up it's maintenance for version 2.7 after 2020.
