4. Enterprise Applications

Enterprise applications are the solutions provided in the form of software technology, which provides business logic and many different tools to draw the model of the entire business process. Enterprise applications are used for improving the productivity and efficiency of the organization.

• Customer relationship management system and billing system are the best examples of enterprise applications.
• Python can be used to create enterprise applications.
• Some real-time enterprise application developed with Python language are:
• Picanto
• OpenERP
• Tryton etc.
• Python can provide libraries through which we can create an application that is used in customer management relationships or supplier management relationships system and very helpful for an enterprise.

5. Software Development Applications

Python can work as a supportive language in software development. It can be used to build the testing, control and management tools in the process of software development.

• The core purpose of Python is to develop software. It is very useful for software development processes.
• Below is the list of some of the important frameworks of Python that are used in the software development process:
• Scions: Scion framework of Python is used to build controls.
• Buildbot and Apache: These are used for automated testing and compilation while developing software.
• Trac or Round: These frameworks provided by Python are used for project management and bug tracking in software development.

6. Desktop GUI Applications

GUI or Graphical User Interface is very helpful in providing a smooth graphic experience to the users. GUI in any application is used to make the user experience very robust and interactive. GUI interacts with the user of the application in the form of visual indicator representations instead of a text-based interaction.

• Python Tk GUI library is a library provided by python language to develop an interactive User Interface for the application.
• Below is the list of some popular GUI libraries provided by Python to develop an interactive User Interface:
• Kivy: Kivy library is provided by Python, and it is used for writing the multi touch application.
• Tk or Tkinter
• PyQt or Pyside
• wxWidgetM

7. 3D CAD Applications

3D CAD means three-dimensional (3-D) Computer-aided Design. 3D CAD is an application that is used for technical documentation and designs. It has replaced manual drafting with its automation process. It is used for designing the architectural modules related to engineering. We use a 3D CAD application to represent part of a system in three-dimensional mode.

• Python has many libraries that are used to create 3D formations and structures.
• We can create 3D CAD applications using the framework and libraries provided by Python.
• Python frameworks provide many functionalities while developing a 3D CAD application using Python.
• We can create a 3D CAD application using Python with the following functionalities:
• HeeksCNC
• RCAM
• Fandango (Most Popular)
• AnyCAD
• CamVoX

8. Scientific and Numeric Applications

Today is the era of Artificial intelligence (AI), where the machines with the help of technology are able to perform tasks that humans can do.

Data science is a new trend in the modern world. In today's technology world, machines are able to perform tasks the same as a human. Machines are also able to learn using the algorithms and their experiences.

• Python is considered the most suitable language for Machine Learning (ML) or Artificial intelligence (AI).
• Python language consists of many mathematical, scientific and statistical libraries.
• These libraries enable Python to solve many complex calculations very easily.
• When we want to implement algorithms related to machine learning, it becomes very complex sometimes because it requires very high and complex mathematical and scientific calculations.
• Python consists of many scientific and numeric libraries such as SciPy, Numpy, Scikit-learn, Pandas etc.
• If we have some prior knowledge of Python, we can import these Python libraries on top of our code.
• Below is the list of some very popular frameworks and libraries used in Artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML):
• Pandas
• SciPy
• Numpy
• Matplotlib
• Scikit-learn etc.

9. Image Processing Applications

In today's world, we can see the live effect put on by digital image processing. Digital image processing is growing extensively in many fields with the time. Image processing is basically manipulating the image to get the desired outputs. Or we can say that, we perform some operation on a given image to get the desired output from the image.

• Python contains many libraries through which we can work with the images.
• Python libraries have much functionality which is very helpful while working with the image.
• We can manipulate the image with the Python libraries to get the output that is required.
• Application related to digital image processing can be developed with these Python libraries.
