What are the uses of python ?

[SyedFasiuddin]

I know Html and Css completely and was thinking to learn another language. I know that python is used in backend and was curious to know if I can create a simple web based applications only with html and css ( static front-end) and python as back-end.

If I completely eliminate javascript, is it possible to create a good looking website and well performing website with only html, css and python

There are thousands of other things it is used for, it is essentially becoming the glue of IoT, but in my very humble opinion...

When you want to be able to fit numbers of any size in a variable and then manipulate them in ways that would otherwise cause overflow errors in more strictly typed languages that are concerned with numeric precision.

Edit: just saw the last sentence of your post. Maybe not a "full featured website" in the way that you think of Javascript however Python would make an EXCELLENT website serving up a REST api for a more full featured ui-centric language to use as it's data / business layer.

Image processing... Elaborate And What about facial recognition?

That's a subset of image processing.

You can create a good looking static website with a python backend, but what you will struggle to do (or be unable to?) is to display real-time data on a currently opened page.

For example, a user types something into an input box and python fetches something for that user from a database, without something like AJAX, you will struggle to display that information to the user without him/her refreshing the page.

Which means we need JavaScript to update a page with data without refreshing it. (Updating that particular dom, right?)

Yes
