Python is an object-oriented programming language created by Guido
Rossum in 1989. It is ideally designed for rapid prototyping of complex
applications. In contrast to other popular languages such as C, C++,
Java, and C#, Python strives to provide a simple but powerful syntax.
The
main strength of this language is that it is really easy to extend upon
to make more complex, or keep simple, and it was able to support
multiple platforms. Both of these were important during the days when
personal computers were becoming popular. And since Python was designed
to communicate with different file formats and libraries, it became a
hit as well.
Python programming is widely used in
Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Generation, Neural Networks
and other advanced fields of Computer Science.
Python
is used for software development at companies and organizations such as
Google, Yahoo, Face-book, CERN, Industrial Light and Magic, and
NASA. Experienced programmers can accomplish great things with
Python, but Python’s beauty is that it is accessible to beginning
programmers and allows them to tackle interesting problems more quickly
than many other, more complex languages that have a steeper learning
curve.
Python code is usually 2–10 times shorter than
comparable code written in languages like C/C++ and Java, which means
that the user spend less time writing application and more time using
it. Python code tends to be easier to read than the code written in
other languages, which means the user spend less time interpreting it
and more time making essential changes.
