In this tutorial, we are going to learn about the features of Python Language.

Features of Python Language :

Python supports the following features.

1. Simple and easy to Learn :

The syntaxes of python language are very simple. Anybody can remember the python language syntaxes, rules and regulations very easily.
The elegant syntaxes of the Python language make the people learn python most comfortably.
Without having any other programming languages knowledge, we can learn python directly.
The simple and powerful syntax of python language makes the programmers express their business logic is fewer lines of code.

Like Java programs, Python programs are also platform independent.
Once we write a Python program, it can run on any platform without rewriting once again.
Python uses PVM to convert python code to machine understandable code.

The python applications or portable. The applications which are developed by python on one platform are going to execute any platform without making any changes (re-compiling is not required).
To achieve the portability feature for the every operating system a separate python software is developed for every version.

Python is an open source language so that anyone can use the python software without purchasing the licence.
Anyone can read the python source code and can able to do the modification in the source code and also we can redistribute that code to others.

Python is a high-level language.
While developing python applications, developers no need to bother about memory management.

Python is a dynamically typed language. I mean, in python there is no need to declare the type of a variable.
Whenever we assign a value to the variable, based on the value the type will be allocated automatically.

Python language supports both Procedural Oriented Programming and Object Oriented Programming features.
We can implement OOPs features like Encapsulation, polymorphic, inheritance and abstraction in the Python programming language.

Like PHP, Python as also interpreted language.
Python applications do not require explicit compilation so that compiler is not required for python software.
Python interpreter is responsible for the execution of python applications.
Whenever we run a python application, the python interpreter checks for the syntax errors. If there are no syntax errors found in our code, then the interpreter converts the code into intermediate code in the form of low-level format and executes it.
The intermediate code of the python applications is known as byte code.
The extension of the byte code file is .pye (Python Compile Code)

We can embed the python code into other languages such as C, C++, Java, Etc..
To provide the scripting capabilities to other languages we can use the python code in it.

Python language is proving huge built-in libraries. Developers can use the built-in libraries for their applications.
By making use of these built-in libraries, development will become faster.
We can easily add and use the third party libraries in Python applications.

Happy Learning 🙂
