Python is a good solution for dealing with almost any data science process. It has many modules built from a large community to solve common data science tasks. Python provides a powerful tool to handle any challenge when working with data, however, it has some disadvantages such as using code instead of interface interaction.

How to using Python

  1. You need to install Python environment on your computer before you can use them (Installer).
  2. After that, you need an editor to begin programming with Python. You can use Visual Studio Code or Jupyter notebook
  3. You should create a virtual environment to contain libraries such as numpy, pandas. I recommended using Anaconda to manage your packages in Python.
