Introduction to Python

Main Characteristics of Python

• Multi-Paradigm Language: Python supports multiple programming


paradigms, such as object-oriented, procedural, and functional
programming, making it versatile and adaptable to different project
needs.
• Interpreted Language: Python is an interpreted language, meaning that
it does not require explicit compilation. The Python interpreter executes
source code directly, line by line, similar to a scripting engine.
• Interactive Language: Python offers an interactive mode where users
can submit commands at the Python prompt and directly interact with
the interpreter, allowing for immediate feedback and testing.
Key Benefits of Python
•Easy to Learn, Read, and Maintain: Python has a minimalistic syntax with readable English keywords,
making it beginner-friendly and easy to maintain. Its pseudo-code-like structure enhances code readability and
maintainability.
•Object and Procedure-Oriented: Python supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. The
procedural paradigm focuses on functions and code reuse, while the object-oriented paradigm organizes code
around objects that combine data and functionality.
•Extendable: Python can integrate low-level modules written in C/C++, enhancing performance when speeding
up critical parts of an application is required.
•Scalable and Manageable: Python’s minimalistic nature and clean syntax make it ideal for building scalable
and manageable applications, from small scripts to large, complex systems.
•Portable: As an interpreted language, Python eliminates the need for compilation, linking, and loading. Python
code is portable, meaning it can be run on various platforms without modification.
•Extensive Library Support: Python provides extensive library support for numerous fields, including machine
learning, image processing, network programming, and cryptography, with packages readily available across
platforms.
