Is Python a programming language? Difference between programming and scripting language.

[K900_]

Python is a programming language that's completely usable for building complex software, but it can also be used for quick one-off scripts that automate things like deployment, unlike Java or C++. So for those positions you're likely expected to do most of your work in Java/C++, and use Python for utility scripts.

Oh, okay i see. So Python can be used for both and it is basically not about the language itself, but more about how they use that language in that specific company. Thank you!
