Python is a high-level, general-purpose language that has a wide range of use cases.

Back-end web server? Sure, Django, Flask, Pyramid?

Test automation? Pytest

Do you want to download a webpage? Simple:

{{< highlight python >}}

import requests

print(requests.get('https://www.theregister.co.uk/').text)

{{< /highlight >}}

After that, there is any number of things to do with it.
