The JetBrains blog presents the
results of the eighth annual Python Developers Survey, carried out in
partnership with the Python Software Foundation.

This year, 51% of all surveyed Python developers are involved in
data exploration and processing, with pandas and NumPy being the
tools most commonly used for this.

Many of us in the Python pundit space have talked about Python as
being divided into thirds: One-third web development, one-third
data science and pure science, and one-third as a catch-all bin.

We need to rethink that positioning now that one of those thirds is
overwhelmingly the most significant portion of Python.
