I want to learn Python. but I cant decide which application to choose.I don't understand if I should be a Developer, testing or something else which is the future and which is more in demand.

Good to hear that you want to learn Python. You can choose any application you want to learn in Python based on your interest. Python developer is the most demanded positions in the IT industries and thus if you love programming in Python then I highly recommend you to become a Developer. If you like to fix bugs or errors in the system then you may choose to become a Tester. The future will be Python developers who will be working either as a Data Scientist or Web Developer in a big company.

Hello Srinu,

First of all, I would like to say that Python is a very versatile technology, and it is a must be add-on in your portfolio irrespective of any career choices. It is very easy to learn and comprehend and opens up a vast portal of opportunities, as you mentioned. Let's talk about these three things, Development, Testing and I am going to consider the "something else" as Data Science.

Testing as a concept is something which is never going to fade away, so we can safely say that it is future proof. You can do a lot when it comes to testing using Python, a whole lot of scripting and automation. Development using Python is not that of a booming market in comparison to Web Development using Python/Django/Flask. If you are into web app development, this could be one of the career options.

Now I am going to talk about Data Science, a field where I belong and meaning to build my career in. Data Science/Machine Learning is something you'll hear a lot these days. This is a field which gradually moves towards the "Artificial Intelligence" zone and is very much future-proof skill you can have in your skillset today. As of now, in India, the demand for Data Scientists is on the rise. However, there are fewer companies that can absorb a fresher, the reason being a lot of companies are not reached to the stage where they can fully leverage Data Science as a sector. But, again as I said, it is very much future proof. So the career path could go something like this, Data Analyst -> Data Scientist -> Machine Learning Engineer -> AI Engineer. So you can start your career with Data Analysis and Visualization and over the course upskill into AI.

I hope this gives you more insight and helps you resolve your confusion.

Hey buddy. Python programming language is one of the strongest, with so many libraries supporting it.
And for the same reason, there are several applications like gaming, network-related, web apps, and many more. It has a vast application. Choose what suits you the best and remember to keep your interests in mind.
The choice of Data analytics or data science is worth it if you're a good-enough-to-code like a programmer. This requires you to know how to handle the data, data mining etc.

Dear Srinu, Python is widely used in a number of areas. But, the three main areas where Python is used these days are Web Development, Data Science and Machine Learning. Out of these three areas, Python with Data Science has more demand. Once you learn Python with Data Science, then you can find excellent opportunities in this area. 

Hi Srinu.
First of all, each of the areas where Python is generally used is in Web development, Data Science, Automation or ML, and AI areas which have a very bright future. You can go to any of them. And second, regarding developer or tester, it all depends on you, your interest, your intelligence, etc. So please spend some time on it and finalize the area which is suitable for you. It is good that you are concerned about it at the beginning of your career.

Srinu - Python is a language which is used in automation, web development and data science. If you have just begun, then focus on getting a grip on the programming language. The reason is that nearly all companies have a coding test. This coding test is a test of logic.
Once you have a good grip on the language, you can focus on the specialization like web and data science. But the key, as I mentioned, is to have mastery of language first.
