Python Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.

It's solid and powerful. Python has a relative small quantity of lines of code, which makes it less prone to issues, easier to debug, and more maintainable. Python seems to provide most of the power of C++ at the cost of speed. However most of the time this is not a problem. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale. The has a large and comprehensive standard library.

Python is used in a wide array of industries and for a long list of different usages, from websites and web applications to systems administration, voice over IP, and desktop apps. Python is also a staple of the Scientific community. Python in particular emerges as a near ideal candidate for a first programming language. Python's simple and straight-forward syntax. Python is free, since Python is an open source programming language. Python is cross platform and available for most if not all platforms i.e. Windows, Mac and Linux, most versions of UNIX, Android, IOS.
