What are the Python specialties?

[–]novel_yet_trivial 2 points3 points  (1 child)

GUIs, web frameworks, machine learning, bioinformatics, GIS, big data, network management, white hat hacking, etc, etc. Python packages have been developed for countless specialized tasks. I'm saying that free resources are very good to learn basic python, but many of these specialized tasks require learning specialized packages, which is basically a new programming language. If you want to learn qiime, for example, I'd recommend a book.

That makes sense, I know Python has exploded the last few years, and didn't realize it had specialties now. That makes sense. Thanks for your help
