PYTHON - INTRODUCTION
What is Python?
Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released
in 1991.
● web development (server-side),
● software development,
● mathematics,
● system scripting.
What can Python do?
● Python can be used on a server to create web applications.
● Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
● Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.
● Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.
● Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.
Why Python?
● Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
● Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
● Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some
other programming languages.
● Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it
is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
● Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a functional way.
Characteristics of Python
Following are important characteristics of Python Programming −
● It supports functional and structured programming methods as well as OOP.
● It can be used as a scripting language or can be compiled to byte-code for building large
applications.
● It provides very high-level dynamic data types and supports dynamic type checking.
● It supports automatic garbage collection.
● It can be easily integrated with C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA, and Java.
