Day 1 Python Features

Python is a powerful, object-oriented programming language known for its elegant syntax and ease of use, making it ideal for prototype development. It features a large standard library, supports various data types, and allows for object-oriented programming with classes and multiple inheritances. Additionally, Python is free to use and modify, runs on multiple operating systems, and includes advanced features like generators and automatic memory management.

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl,


Ruby, Scheme, or Java.
Some of Python's notable features:

1. Uses an elegant syntax, making the programs you write easier to read.
2. Is an easy-to-use language that makes it simple to get your program working. This makes
Python ideal for prototype development and other ad-hoc programming tasks, without
compromising maintainability.
3. Comes with a large standard library that supports many common programming tasks such
as connecting to web servers, searching text with regular expressions, reading and
modifying files.
4. Python's interactive mode makes it easy to test short snippets of code. There's also a
bundled development environment called IDLE.
5. Is easily extended by adding new modules implemented in a compiled language such as C
or C++.
6. Can also be embedded into an application to provide a programmable interface.
7. Runs anywhere, including Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and Unix, with unofficial builds
also available for Android and iOS.
8. Is free software in two senses. It doesn't cost anything to download or use Python, or to
include it in your application. Python can also be freely modified and re-distributed because
while the language is copyrighted it's available under an open-source license.

Some programming-language features of Python are:

1. A variety of basic data types are available: numbers (floating point, complex, and
unlimited-length long integers), strings (both ASCII and Unicode), lists, and dictionaries.
2. Python supports object-oriented programming with classes and multiple inheritances.
3. Code can be grouped into modules and packages.
4. The language supports raising and catching exceptions, resulting in cleaner error handling.
5. Data types are strongly and dynamically typed. Mixing incompatible types (e.g.
attempting to add a string and a number) causes an exception to be raised, so errors are
caught sooner.

6. Python contains advanced programming features such as generators and list


comprehensions.
7. Python's automatic memory management frees you from having to manually allocate and
free memory in your code.
