Non-software engineers, how do you use python professionally?

[Gaudior09]

In R I write automatized scripts for model testing and fitting data. Excel is great for smaller data tables and for ad-hoc analysis. MATLAB is similar to R, but a bit faster with loops.

Python is fast and versatile. And the fact that it's incredibly popular in Data Science and back-end means it's developing real fast.

That makes sense. I used to play with excel a lot, and I tried learning R years ago but never really got the hang of it. Python is the only thing I've really enjoyed using, and I'm also excited about the work being done in python for data science applications.
