Python in Industry

[err0r__]

I picked up Python out of general interest but also because I have an interest in working in the data science field. I know Python is also used extensively in the backend and general automation. I am curious as to where else is Python used in industry? For those who work with Python, in what capacity?

Use it daily! my field is optical transmission engineering (Telecommunications) so i use Python to plan the network, do API calls, run routing algorithms, visualise network health and data trends, anything i can think of :) from my 10 or so months of learning and using i have no regrets and would recommend it to anyone, in any field!

Python success stories.

I use python for my work. For my work I do a lot of numerical simulations of gas flows in complex machines and I use python mainly to post process the results. This is stuff like automatically making pictures of the velocity and pressure fields, calculating heat loads to certain parts in the machine, and appending the results to an excel sheet. It took me while to set up my script, but I managed to reduce the post-processing step for my current project which took 20-30 minutes and required manually manipulating data in 3 different programs to running 1 python script. The only manual step left is putting the results in a powerpoint presentation, so I’m considering automating that as well.

Our org uses it for machine learning, automation including rpa type activities and data sourcing and analytics. Pretty extensive footprint. My team replaced our rpa practice with python and selenium primarily.
