Features of python

As per as software industry is consent following are the important features about Python language

1.Easy to Use
2.Expressive Language
3.Interpreted Language
4.Cross-platform language
5.Free and Open Source
6.Object-Oriented language
7.Integrated
8.Large Standard Library
9.GUI Programming
10.Integrated

1) Easy to Use:

Python is easy to very easy to use and high level language. Thus it is programmer-friendly language.

2) Expressive Language:

Python language is more expressive. The sense of expressive is the code is easily understandable.

3) Interpreted Language:

Python is an interpreted language i.e. interpreter executes the code line by line at a time. This makes debugging easy and thus suitable for beginners.

4) Cross-platform language:

Python can run equally on different platforms such as Windows, Linux, Unix , Macintosh etc. Thus, Python is a portable language.

5) Free and Open Source:

Python language is freely available(www.python.org).The source-code is also available. Therefore it is open source.

6) Object-Oriented language:

Python supports object oriented language. Concept of classes and objects comes into existence.

7) Extensible:

It implies that other languages such as C/C++ can be used to compile the code and thus it can be used further in your python code.

8) Large Standard Library:

Python has a large and broad library.

9) GUI Programming:

Graphical user interfaces can be developed using Python.

10) Integrated:

It can be easily integrated with languages like C, C++, JAVA etc.

Python History

Python laid its foundation in the late 1980s.
The implementation of Python was started in the December 1989 by Guido Van Rossum at CWI in Netherland.
ABC programming language is said to be the predecessor of Python language which was capable of Exception Handling and interfacing with Amoeba Operating System.
Python is influenced by programming languages like:
ABC language.
