Python vs HTML
Python and HTML are not comparable since they are two separate categories of programming languages.
Building the structures and layouts of a web page or app requires the usage of HTML, a text-based markup language that is simple to master. Python is a challenging programming language that can be used to create websites, apps, old-school video games, and machine learning applications. Python allows you to build several projects.
Python and HTML are totally unrelated. In actuality, HTML is not a programming language in the sense that it allows for the creation of logic and functions, but Python does.
Furthermore, if you want to study python or HTML, you don’t need to know HTML or python first. Everyone has a unique use. However, understanding of CSS and javascript is necessary for HTML.
It entirely depends on what you want to make. If you wish to make a web page or dropdown menu, then learning only Python is not going to help you.
The creation of a webpage would undoubtedly require some other HTML-related abilities, such as CSS for a drop-down menu. On the other side, mastering merely HTML won’t ever help you if you want to create a programme like automated software.
Since HTML plays no part in the creation of games. Python will thus save you in this case without a doubt. Knowing both HTML and Python would enable you to create applications and websites that meet your needs.
HTML Overview
HyperText Markup Language, or HTML, is the language used to generate web pages. It is the one that is the simplest for novices to comprehend and use. It is a straightforward markup language made consisting of instructions in text file format.
However, these are special text files that contain rule-based instructions. Instructions must be written under various tags to create a webpage.
All these tags create a specific element of the web page. There is an opening and ending tag to create an HTML element.
One such example of these tags is down here, which creates the first heading on the webpage.
The language also describes the structure of the web page, as shown in this example of a complete webpage. is a tag that tells the browser that this is an HTML file so that it can easily interpret it. Whereas, other tags structure the elements of the webpage altogether as described in this example.

H2 HEADING
H3 HEADING
H4 HEADING
H5 HEADING

Html Code in Editor:
Output of the Code:
If a user generates web page code in text files with, say, a.txt extension. The user must then change these text files’ extensions to.html in order to open them in web browsers.
Web browsers like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer are responsible for deciphering the instructions contained in these files and displaying the appropriate web page. Your website might perhaps appear like this based on the code above.
PYTHON Overview
Python is an object-oriented programming language used to produce sets of instructions for execution on computers rather than web browsers. Object-oriented programming languages are built on data types and classes with objects. Guido Van Rossum created Python in 1991 for a variety of uses including software development, server-side web development, mathematics, scripting, and so on.
It offers built-in data structures, dynamic types, and binding capabilities that aid in Rapid Application Development.
Python executes a variety of tasks dependent on the needs of the user. It is used by programmers to connect to database systems and to read and alter files.
Python is a high-level (human-like) language that has gotten less difficult over time. Its syntax is simple to learn and apply, which improves the program’s readability.
Python, for example, permits indentation and white spaces to specify the scope of loops, while other programming languages such as C++, Java, and others do not. In addition, in Python, a command terminates with the end of the line, but in C++, a command concludes with a semicolon.
Python 3 is the most recent version, and it is frequently used for software development these days. Here’s a taste of what it’s like to code in Python.
Python Code with its many functionalities:

Learn about the similarities and differences between HTML, CSS, and Python.
What’s the difference between HTML, CSS, and Python?
That’s a good question. Maybe not the one you want to ask your programming buddies unless you want a “Duhh!” reaction and no answer. Or on an online forum, lest you get told it’s a duplicate topic and you should use the search form.
It’s also an important question to ask—especially if you’re new to web development and you’re just getting acquainted with the languages involved. That’s why it’s good that you stop by here because we’re about to give you an explanation that’s free from B.S. and without any programmer’s ego.
What’s the Difference Between HTML, CSS, and Python?
HTML is a markup language and CSS is a stylesheet language. The two are used for structuring and styling the information on websites. Python, on the other hand, is a programming language that’s used in data science, machine learning, and web development.
When it comes to the difference between these three web development languages, the main thing to keep in mind is that HTML and CSS are not really programming languages. Because of that, they can only be used to create static websites.
Python is a programming language. You can use it to create dynamic websites. (If we really want to be specific, Python is a scripting language; it needs an interpreter to parse its code and translate it into machine-readable instructions.)
A “static” website, in case you’re coming across the term for the first time, is one whose content doesn’t change. A “dynamic” website is one whose content can change and is displayed differently by the user, the day, or the page view.
What Can You Do With HTML/CSS?
If you know how to write HTML and CSS, you can make:
- Static menus for bars, restaurants, and clubs
- Static websites, sales funnels, and landing pages
- HTML email templates for email marketing platforms
- HTML documents out of Adobe XD mockups or PSD files
The uses of HTML/CSS are rather limited, at least when compared to other languages, since HTML was developed to give web pages a structure, and CSS shortly thereafter to give those web pages a style.
We’ve written about the possibilities and limitations of HTML/CSS in a post titled “Can You Get a Job With HTML/CSS?”. If you want to know the details, you should definitely stop by here.
What Can You Do With Python?
If you know how to code in Python, you can:
- Analyze and visualize data
- Create machine learning algorithms
- Program dynamic websites or web applications
- Create scripts for automating tasks
As with any other general-purpose programming language, Python’s uses are limited only by the needs of the business, the ingenuity of the programmer, and the appetite of the sponsor.
With that said, most of the Python programming language’s uses fall into one of three categories: data analytics, machine learning, and application development—whether for the web or not.
Should I First Learn Python or HTML/CSS?
Wondering whether you should learn Python or HTML/CSS first?
To give you the long story short, it really comes down to what you’re looking to achieve professionally for yourself. At least as I write this article right now, in August 2022, I can think of three situations.
Say you want to get into machine learning and artificial intelligence. You should absolutely learn Python first, and, depending on the projects you will be involved in, there’s a high chance you may not even need to touch HTML and CSS in your daily work!
Suppose you want to get into data analytics. Here too, Python is the language you want to learn (and master) first. HTML and CSS may only be useful if you want to create good-looking reports for your analyses.
Now if you want to become a web developer, the picture is kinda different. Here, it makes sense to learn HTML/CSS—the bread and butter of the trade—and only then move on to “real” programming languages like Python or JavaScript.
In Conclusion
HTML/CSS are a markup and stylesheet language for creating static web pages. Python is a general-purpose programming language that can be used to create dynamic web pages, but its uses also expand into data analytics and machine learning.
