Why Use Python?

Right from data development to web development, Python has become the most famous and an important open source programming language used in today’s scenarios. In many IT forums, it is discussed that if you want to find the most used colors in a picture, you use Python, if you want to develop a web app then you use Python if you want to automate some small projects then use Python. In addition, Python is used for processing the data, data visualization, database programming, web administration and the list goes on. So to this extent, Python is widely used by many developers, programmers, system administrators etc.

Python is much older than other programming languages like Javascript, R, Java etc. In the 1980s, Python was invented as a general-purpose programming language and later was developed in many stages. Lakhs of programmers are using this application doing many things such as testing microchips at Intel, to building video games and powering Instagram with Pygame Library. Let us have a look at the entities that makes this tool highly preferred.
• It is easy to Read, Learn and fast to Develop: This programming language is treated as the language of choice for starters and closely replicates the English language. It is well-designed with proper code formatting. Beginners can read, learn and explore easily with this language and start developing programs, apps and work on projects with no troubles. Python is efficient enough to engage user needs.

• It is Multi-Platform: You can see Python on different platforms unbounding to few basements such as Mac, Linux or Windows. Python is competent to multiple operating systems but in some module cases, it functions on few programming languages such as PyFerret and PyNGL.

• Active Community: In many parts of the world, Python has got user groups, generally referred as PUGs. Except for Antarctica, they conduct conferences in other continents every year. Python conference also started providing Young Coder workshops, wherein the participants teach python to the aspirants and help them in coding and developing some apps, games or hacks etc.

• It Is Open-source: If you are not provided with this tool by your institute, no worries, you can do modifications in your code or at least have a glance at the source code to identify that there is a bug in this free open source programming language.

• Library: It has been more than 2 decades that Python is still participating in the marathon of programming race. There may be thousands of codes written in Python and developed many projects in this duration. As it is available as an open source language, a large number of users have accessibility to write, learn, code, develop etc. you can deploy this in your IT infrastructure and create your own projects. For instance, if you want to create scripts using Python then use command line arguments, as you have a choice to install the ‘click’ library option and retrieve it into your scripts to use it. There are many such library options that can be used for the ideas you come up with such as server automation, scientific calculation, image manipulation etc.Python training gives users a simple, single and reliable point of engagement with a whole ecosystem consisting of partners and developers.

The Future:

Python is not going to get away from the spectrum anytime soon, as the user base is huge and growing exponentially. This is used by the top guns in the marketplace like Google, Microsoft, Nokia and of course NASA too. It is signaling that Python will have a long-run in the future as is supported and gravitated by a large community of Operating System developers.

Thank you for your article!
I agree that Python has great potential. It's a great programming language that can help businesses to scale their product. A lot of popular apps were built with Python: Uber, Spotify, Instagram, Netflix, etc. It is definitely worth using.

Python is a popular high-level language. It is used for developing web applications, websites, and GUI applications. The simple syntax rules of the programming language make it easier to keep the code base readable and the application maintainable. Its large and robust library collection makes it quite popular among all other languages. The use of several open-source Python frameworks, libraries and development tools to curtail development time without increasing development cost makes this language more demanding.

When you write a software program it is important to focus at the quality the source code in order to make maintenance easier and updates. Its syntax-based rules for Python let you convey concepts without writing any additional code. Learning python programming is easy. In addition, Python, unlike other programming languages, is focused on the readability of code, and permits you to utilize English terms instead of punctuation. This means that you can use Python to create custom programs without having to write additional code. The clean and readable code base can help you maintain and upgrade the software without having to spend more effort and time.

When you are building a website, it can be intimidating to learn a new language. Python is object-oriented, which means that everything is an object. This allows you to create more efficient code by manipulating the various functions of the language. Because of this, Python can be scalable. Even though Python is slow, it is very effective at shortening the time it takes to build a website. So, why should you learn Python?

Financial technologies present several goals and challenges. Big data and significant amounts of data need to be managed in a secure, convenient and efficient manner. This big data may be stored in a blockchain and used to process transactions. Python is particularly suited to banking programming. Using it for these projects can make it easier to create software and solve data science problems. These are just some of the reasons why it's a good language to learn.

For beginners, it can be difficult to figure out how to get started with this language. It is a good choice for embedded web applications, as it integrates with nearly every other programming language. With its open source nature, Python has excellent integrations and resources, which can help reduce the time-to-market and overall budget of a website. It's also a good choice for young businesses and start-ups. Its community resources are extensive, which makes it easy to find useful information and guidance.

Python is commonly used for developing websites and software, task automation, data analysis, and data visualization. Since it's relatively easy to learn, Python has been adopted by many non-programmers such as accountants and scientists, for a variety of everyday tasks, like organizing finances

1) Readable and Maintainable Code

While writing a software application, you must focus on the quality of its source code to simplify maintenance and updates. The syntax rules of Python allow you to express concepts without writing additional code. At the same time, Python, unlike other programming languages, emphasizes code readability and allows you to use English keywords instead of punctuations. Hence, you can use Python to build custom applications without writing additional code. The readable and clean code base will help you to maintain and update the software without putting extra time and effort.

2) Multiple Programming Paradigms

Like other modern programming languages, Python also supports several programming paradigms. It supports object-oriented and structured programming fully. Also, its language features to support various concepts in functional and aspect-oriented programming. At the same time, Python also features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. The programming paradigms and language features help you to use Python for developing large and complex software applications.

3) Compatible with Major Platforms and Systems

At present, Python supports many operating systems. You can even use Python interpreters to run the code on specific platforms and tools. Also, Python is an interpreted programming language. It allows you to run the same code on multiple platforms without recompilation. Hence, you are not required to recompile the code after making any alterations. You can run the modified application code without recompiling and check the impact of changes made to the code immediately. The feature makes it easier for you to make changes to the code without increasing development time.

4) Robust Standard Library

Its large and robust standard library makes Python score over other programming languages. The standard library allows you to choose from a wide range of modules according to your precise needs
