File:Python-logo-notext.svg - Wikimedia CommonsWait!! Why Python? We have many other languages right. Why is Python so popular? It's just because of its simplicity. Programming in Python usually feels similar to using a human language. This is because Python makes it easy to express what we want to do with syntax that's easy to read and write. Python is a cross-platform programming language with wide applications.
Python is super popular in the IT industry, making it one of the most common programming languages used today. Python isn't new. Its first version was released by Guido van Rossum back in 1991. Since then, the community that develops it has grown and the language has advanced a lot.
For many years, Python was considered a beginner's language and was mostly used for teaching concepts or writing very small simple scripts. But in recent years, the adoption of Python has grown dramatically. One reason for this is that the language has become more powerful. It's also because there are more tools available in Python for a growing range of applications. You can use Python to calculate statistics, run your e-commerce site, process images, interact with web services, and do a whole host of other tasks. 
Let's look at some of the popular apps developed in Python.

The list goes on...

Also Python is perfect for automation. It lets you automate everyday tasks by writing simple scripts that are easy to understand and easy to maintain. That's why Python is the language of choice for lots of people working in IT support, system administration, and web development. Not only that, but it's also used in fast-growing areas of IT, like machine learning or data analytics. Last but not least, Python is available for download on a wide variety of operating systems, like Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. And what's more, Python is so popular in the workplace that if you are currently working in IT, you've most likely encountered it already. And if you're planning a career in IT, chances are you'll interact with Python quite a bit. So there's a whole lot of reasons for why Python is relevant to today's IT industry. 
Getting good at something takes a whole lot of practice and programming and Python is no different.
We recommend that you practice every example we share on your own. A large part of programming is learning through trial and error and asking questions.

By default, macOS ships with a version of Python installed. But it's Python 2, not Python 3. To check if Python 3 is installed run  python3 --version  command in the Terminal. Now let's see how to install python on macOS. Navigate to the  Official Python page . Click the Downloads menu. Since we're running this on a macOS computer, the website will automatically offer a link to install Python 3 for macOS.  Once the file is downloaded, execute it, go through the license in Terms of Use pages, and finally install it. Depending on how your machine is setup, you might need to enter your password to perform the actual installation using administrator rights.

How to install Python modules?

Before we get started, let's have a glimpse at the basics of Python modules. What are Python modules? Why is it used? The doubts of a beginner goes on... That's absolutely fine. Doubts are the key tool of a programmer. Okay, let's get started. In programming, we often reuse code that we've written or someone else has written. This is called code reuse and nearly all languages provide some way of doing it. There are also Functions that let us group code into logical blocks that can be executed at a later point and as many times as we need. But as our scripts get bigger and more complicated, we want to be able to reuse more than a single function. We might even want to reuse entire scripts and other programs that we write. This is where Python modules come in to play. Modules can also be defined as a file containing Python code which can define functions, classes, and variables. These modules can be imported to your program when needed. To use Python modules, you must ...
