WHY CHOOSING PYTHON?

Simple. Python is easy to use and understand. Wherever the developers stumble on a problem, they can focus on its solution, not the linguistic complexity. A piece of code written on Python is easy to read even for those developers who’ve never coded with it.
Free. This programming language is free and open. Developers usually share, copy, and change the code. That’s why Python develops so fast and has a worldwide community with strong knowledge-sharing practices.
Versatile. Python is compatible with many platforms. So, developers don’t face the issues, so frequent for other programming languages.
Object-oriented. Python supports object-oriented and procedural programming. The first enables the use of objects based on data and functionality, while the second is useful for the re-use of code.
Supported by many libraries. A large library base helps the developers to manage the documentation, databases, web-browsers, or run module testing. Apart from that, Python could be used to complete many tasks enabling the development of apps, complex calculation systems, IoT, games etc.
