Python has become one of the most popular programming languages in the world, according to multiple polls and metrics. This popularity is, to no small extent, a direct result of the simplicity of the language, its power, and scalability, allowing it to run even large-scale applications, such as Dropbox, YouTube, and many others. It becomes even more valuable with the rise in the adoption of machine learning techniques and algorithms, including state-of-the-art algorithms on the edge of scientific advancements.

Consequently, there are hundreds ...
