Intro to Python

Introduction to Python

Python is a computer language similar to C, C++, Java, C# etc .. However there are lot of features in python make it unique compare to other languages. Especially, the unprecedented growth of data science and machine learning is making Python as most popular language at present. This is due to the flexibility and computational friendly nature of Python.

Advantages of Python

Very high level language, so we can prototype rapidly an idea or an algorithm
Object oriented programming, Interpreted, Interactive and Portable
It can interact with C and C++ well (Extensibility feature of Python)
Large set of packages
Easy integration
Apt for scientific computing
Dynamically typed

Limitations of Python

In my opinion, Still it is considered as glue language or just scripting language or language for automating tasks in industry rather than being used as a main-stream language such as Java, C#, C etc ..
Slow compare to C
