Key Points About Python:

Object-Oriented Scripting Language.

Dynamic & strong typing system.
Dynamic types are checked at runtime
Strong types don�t change implicitly, can�t add 1 and "something".
Supports functional concepts like map, reduce, filter, and list comprehension.
Whitespace delimited (no { or } around code blocks)
Pseudo-code like syntax
Extremely popular language used across many different disciplines (academia,
data science, scripting, web development, etc.).
Large open source community and public package index (Pypi).
Runs on all major operating systems (historically more of a pain to run on
Windows than Unix systems). Pre-installed on most *NIX systems (usually Python 2).
Supported by large companies such as Google & YouTube.
Consistently high on the Tiobe Index (one of the most searched programming
languages). 4th as of the time of recording this.
Placed in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey�s top 10 for Most Popular
Programming Languages, Most Loved Programming Languages, and placed number 1 as the
�Most Wanted Language� (meaning it�s the language that developers want to use the
most).
