Features of Python

Python is one of the
most widely used language over the web. 

Some features of Python are:

• Easy-to-learn −
  Python has few keywords, simple structure, and a clearly defined syntax.
  This allows the student to pick up the language quickly.
• Easy-to-read −
  Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.


• Easy-to-maintain −
  Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.


• A broad standard library −
  Python's bulk of the library is very portable and cross-platform compatible
  on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.


• Interactive Mode −
  Python has support for an interactive mode which allows interactive
  testing and debugging of snippets of code.


• Portable −
  Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface
  on all platforms.


• Extendable −
  You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These modules
  enable programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more
  efficient.


• Databases −
  Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.


• GUI Programming −
  Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many
  system calls, libraries and windows systems, such as Windows MFC,
  Macintosh, and the X Window system of Unix.

  Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than
  shell scripting.
