Many professional developers use Python at least as an auxiliary language, because they quickly and easily automate various jobs with it. Due to the aforementioned good qualities, there are more and more users of Python among people from other professions who use programming in various fields. The Python programming language is free to use, and a large community has been formed around it, contributing to its further development and general support on the Internet.

Python's programming language makes it clear that programming is not just for professional programmers, the same way writting is not just for professional writers.
