Free and Open Source: Python is a free and open source programming language. Python can be downloaded for free from its official website. Its source code can also be taken from GitHub.
- Object Oriented: Python is an object oriented programming language similar to C ++ and Java. It supports classes, encapsulation, inheritance and other object oriented features.
- Embeddable: It can also be used with other languages. It can be embedded with other languages such as C, C ++ and Java.
- Large standard libraries: Python has a very large library of already built modules and functions.
- Cross-platform: As I previously described Python in a portable language. It can be used on any of Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Simple and easy syntax: Python's syntax is simpler than other programming languages. This makes it easy to learn and use.

- The foundation of Python was laid in the 1980s. Its implementation was initiated by Guido van Rossum in 1989 at CWI, Netherlands.
- In February 1991, the first version of Van Rosum was publicly launched at 0.9.0 total sources.
- Python 1.0 was introduced in 1994 with fewer features like lambda, map, filter and more.
- Since then, there have been many versions and add new features. Currently Python 3.7 is its latest version, which was launched on 27 June 2018.
