Python Applications

containers-lp If you've never heard of Python, it's likely that you may have used a computer program written in Python without even knowing it. In this article, we'll take a look at what Python is and how it's used.

What is Python?

Developed in 1991 by Guido van Rossum and since furthered by the Python Software Foundation, Python is a versatile programming language that is high-level and can be applied to a variety of use-cases. Known for its use of significant indentation and emphasis on code readability, Python is an interactive, object-oriented, and interpreted programming language with broad applications that span from web development to scientific computing and data analysis.

Core Features of Python

The core features of Python include:
  • Dynamic typing – This allows for variables to be declared without specifying their type, which makes it easier to write code quickly.
  • Automatic memory management – This feature automatically manages memory usage and garbage collection, making it easier to manage large programs.
  • Object-oriented programming – This feature allows for the creation of objects and classes that can be used to create complex programs.
  • Extensive library support – The standard library provides a wide range of modules for various tasks such as file I/O, networking, GUI development, and more.
  • Cross-platform compatibility – Python can be used on multiple platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows, Linux/Unix, and mobile devices.

Advantages of Python

There are many advantages to using Python over other programming languages:
  • Easy to learn – With its user-friendly syntax and straightforward nature, Python is often considered an ideal language for those new to programming, providing a gentle learning curve for beginners.
