Python is a language that can be used in many contexts and can be adapted to any type of use thanks to specialized libraries. However, it is particularly used as a scripting language to automate simple but tedious tasks, such as a script that would retrieve the weather from the Internet or that would integrate into computer-aided design software in order to automate certain sequences of repetitive actions ( see the Adoption section). It is also used as a prototype development language when a functional application is needed before optimizing it with a lower level language. It is particularly widespread in the scientific world, and has many libraries optimized for numerical computation.
