Why Python?

Python works on different platform likes Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Raspberry PI.
The syntax of python programming is very simple. Like,

print("Hello World) //that's it only
print("Lingaraj Senapati") //To print my name only single line of code.

The syntax of python is very simple to write code which is very less than other programming languages.
To translate source code to machine code in python is very quickly. Because it supports interpreter, means execute the code just enter the one line. That means the prototyping is very quickly.
You can write the code inn python by procedural way, functional way and also object oriented way.
