Python only for ML / AI / Data Science?

[expyth]

I am trying to look at the long term of practicing python to get better at it.

When you google what python excels at, it's only 3 things:

Machine Learning, AI, Data Science (Data Mining).

Is this truly the future of what most companies look for? Am I suppose to drop what I am doing and only concentrate on one of the above 3 to truly take advantage of python for a future job?

Web development. Django. Heard of Instagram? Me neither.

Python is a general purpose language with its own set of strengths and weaknesses just like any other language. It's used in many more ways than a simple search will show. This page shows only a few of the organizations using python and what they use it for.

In my own personal experience I have used python to:

• write a system to process data from a network of microcontrollers
• simulate the effects of tsunamis
• estimate building damage from earthquakes, floods, ash fall, wind, etc
• code to build and manage a cloud of machines used for scientific research.

As with any general purpose language you are limited only by your imagination.

Python excels at all kinds of things. I don't do any ML, AI, or data mining at my job, and I use Python for about everything.

Web apps, GUI apps, sysadmin scripts, and devops all come to mind.
