Meet Python¶

Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. [1]

Why Python¶

Easy to learn and be productive.: Compact language with very good design.
Produce beutiful code by enforcing indentation.: Clean code makes maintenance and debugging easier and less annoying. Simple syntax.
Less is more.: Write less code to achieve more functionality. There is usually one good way of doing something.
General-purpose language.: Can be used for Web development, Desktop (GUI), mobile development, Scientific calculations and as a scripting language.
New kid on the block.: All the cool kids are using it, Eg Google, NASA, Yahoo, Instagram. [2]
Dynamically type language.: Use variables on the fly without declaring first

Enforced indentation can be annoying.: Most programming languages like Java, Ruby have no restrictions on indentation. In python, you get a syntax error if you do not indent properly
Not supported by common hosting platforms.: Deployment on external servers, mostly for web applications.

Interpreted language. This may be slower than compiled languages.

Dynamically typed language.: Can make execution slower especially on devices with limited processing power. Eg: Mobile Undeclared variables are caught at runtime errors.
