Python is an open-source coding language that was created by Guido van Rossum who started working on it back in 1989. Today, van Rossum is considered one of the most influential programmers and Python is one of the most widely used programming languages.

What are the key features of Python?

Object-oriented: Based on the concept of objects and classes, Python is an object-oriented language (OOP). This makes the Python code reusable and it's also easier to work with larger programs.
High-level language: Another advantage and the key feature of Python is that it's a high-level language, making it easier for programmers because they don't have to remember the system architecture (and they don't have to manage the memory).
Integrated language: Python can be integrated with other programming languages, such as C and C++. This means that the programmer doesn't have to learn a low-level programming language.
Interpreted language: The Python code is executed line by line, which makes it easier to debug the code when needed. Also, the code is compiled from the source code into low-level code called Bytecode.

How does Python work?

Using the Python programming language requires some advanced knowledge in computing. It has different applications, such as Web and Internet development, scientific and numeric computing, teaching, and software development, among others. To help users, Guido van Rossum has created The Python Tutorial.

Is Python free?

Python is open-source and you can download and use it for free.

Is Python safe?

It seems that the app has no history of security or safety issues. As always, we recommend reading the official Privacy policy before installing. In general, Python seems as safe as any other programming language (or even safer).
