Features of Python

1. Easy to use – Due to simple syntax rule


2. Interpreted language – Code execution &
interpretation line by line
3. Cross-platform language – It can run on windows,
Linux, Macintosh etc. equally
4. Expressive language – Less code to be written as it
itself express the purpose of the code.
5. Completeness – Support wide rage of library
6. Free & Open Source – Can be downloaded freely
and source code can be modify for improvement

Shortcomings of Python

1. Lesser libraries – as compared to other


programming languages like c++,java,. Net
2. Slow language – as it is interpreted languages, it
executes the program slowly.
3. Weak on Type-binding – It not pin point on use of
a single variable for different data type.
