Introduction of Python

What is Python ?

• It is powerful, general-purpose, high level, object oriented programming language.
• It is developed by Guido van Rossum .

Features of Python ?

• Platform Independent: Python is called platform independent because a Python program can be run on different kind of platform for example Window os,Linux os etc.
• Object Oriented: Python is an object-oriented language because it can create an object in code, which has some properties and methods. And also we can write a valid and excellent code in a Python program without using object even once. it supports all the features of object-oriented programming. In simple Python supports object oriented programming structure so it is called object oriented.
• Flexible: An application developed in Python can be modified as per user requirement so it is called flexible programming language.
• Structure Oriented: To write program in Python there is a fixed structure so it is called structure oriented.
• Portable: A Python program written in one system can be run in any other system. In simple a Python program can be transferred from one system to another for example you can copy a python  program into a pen drive then paste it into another system and run it.
• Simple: Python is very simple and easy to learn so everyone can learn it in a very simple way.

Application of Python ?

• Web Application: Python programming is used to develop Web applications for examples using django and Flask web Framework.
• Software development: Python is also used to develop Software applications.
• Database GUI Application: Python is also used to develop GUI (Graphical user interface) based application with Database like SQL ,MySQL etc. 
• Scientific and Numeric Computing: Python is also used to develop Scientific Calculator using very simple code.
• Business Applications: Python is also used to develop business applications.
• Console Based Application: Python can be used to develop strong console based applications.

Why Use Python ?

• It is very simple and easy to learn.
• It powerful, fast and secure.
• It has very simple syntax.
• It is powerful scripting language.
