Why Python is used in Data Science?

Question

Can anyone tell me why Python is used in Data Science?

Answer 1

Python is used for data science since it is easy to learn and has a lot of packages for data science like pandas, Numpy, sklearn, matplotlib, etc. These python libraries of python make data analysis and data visualizations easy. Python is an open-source programming language that has packages like Sklearn for building machine learning models and libraries like NLTK, spaCy for NLP (Natural Language Processing). The deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch for computer vision and NLP applications are built on python. One of the reasons why python became so popular is because of its active community on sites like StackOverflow, Kaggle, etc.
