Python is an effective tool for solving problems. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a data scientist or data engineer to know how to use Python for automating marketing tasks like reporting, audience segmentation, or data analysis.

Kateryna Koidan writes that Python can be a benefit to marketers because of “it’s simplicity and understandability, it can benefit even those with minimal coding experience.”

My list below isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list. It’s a brief list of some of the libraries I find useful for everyday tasks for marketers.

Python libraries are pieces of reusable code. Python ships with a rich standard library, with a set of core tasks. There are thousands of libraries for more special purposes that go beyond this article.

New to Python? Please read Automate the Boring Stuff to understand the basics of Python as well as installation of libraries. It’s a go-to resource for beginners wanting to learn Python for any field.

Additionally, Stock overflow is also a great resource.

Even professional coders use Stock overflow regularly.

Pandas

Pandas is a library used for data manipulation and analysis. It makes data analysis much easier, especially for large datasets. It works fairly well with software like Microsoft Excel.
