<h1>Why Use Python?</h1>
<p>Python's expansive library of open source data analysis tools,
<ahref="/web-frameworks.html">web frameworks</a>,
and testing instruments make its ecosystem one of the largest out of any
programming community. </p>
<p>Python is an accessible language for new programmers because of the extensive
availability of
<ahref="/best-python-resources.html">free and low cost introductory resources</a>. The
language is also widely taught in universities and used for working with
beginner-friendly devices such as the
<ahref="http://www.raspberrypi.org/">Raspberry Pi</a>.</p>
<divclass="well see-also">
If you're learning about why to use Python you should also take a look at
<ahref="/best-python-resources.html">the best Python resources</a> and read
<ahref="/what-full-stack-means.html">what "full stack" means</a>.
</div>
<h2>Python's programming language popularity</h2>
<p>Several programming language popularity rankings exist. While it's
possible to criticize that these guides are not exact, every ranking shows
Python as a top programming language within the top ten, if not the top five
of all languages. </p>
<p>Most recently, the
<ahref="http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2015/01/14/language-rankings-1-15/">RedMonk January 2015 ranking</a> had Python at #4.</p>
<p>The
<ahref="http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html">TIOBE Index</a>,
a long-running language ranking, has Python steady at #8. </p>
<p>The <ahref="http://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html">PopularitY of Programming Language</a>
(PYPL), based on leading indicators from Google Trends search keyword
analysis, shows Python at #3.</p>
<p><ahref="http://githut.info/">GitHut</a>, a visualization of GitHub language popularity,
pegs Python at #3 overall as well.</p>
<p>These rankings provide a rough measure for language popularity. They are not
intended as a precise measurement tool to determine exactly how many
developers are using a language. However, the aggregate view shows that Python
remains a stable programming language with a growing ecosystem.</p>
<h2>Why does the choice of programming language matter?</h2>
<p>Programming languages have unique ecosystems, cultures and philosophies
built around them. You will find friction with a community and difficulty
in learning if your approach to programming varies from the philosophy of
the programming language you've selected.</p>
<p>Python's culture values
<ahref="https://github.com/trending?l=python&since=monthly">open source software</a>,
community involvement with
<ahref="http://www.pycon.org/">local, national and international events</a> and
teaching to new programmers. If those values are also important to you and/or
your organization then Python may be a good fit. </p>
<p>The philosophy for Python is so strongly held that it's even embedded in
the language as shown when the interpreter executes "import this" and
displays <ahref="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/">The Zen of Python</a>.</p>
