As a programming language, Python offers many useful and sophisticated features thereby making it a first choice in the programming industry. It is versatile as it offers procedural-oriented programming as well as object-oriented programming. Python offers many features to its users, some significant ones are:

1. Free and open source

As a widely used programming language, Python is free to use for everyone and is available to download free of charge on its official website. Its source code which is freely available to all is updated regularly to bring new features to the users. With a growing community, users worldwide can contribute and share ideas amongst themselves.

 2. Ease of coding 

With Python, anyone can learn to code. Although it is a high-level programming language, it is easy to master and very beginner-friendly when compared to other programming languages.

   3. Extensibility

With Python, programs can be written into other languages like C++ programming language and vice versa. programs with lesser codes and reusable codes.

     4. Portability

Python can be used across various OS without having to rewrite the code. If a program was written on a Mac platform, it can be run on other platforms like Windows and Linux without changing the code.

1. Object-oriented Language is one of the key features of Python. It recognizes concepts of classes and object encapsulation which helps in writing programs with lesser codes and reusable codes.

1. High-level language When coding with Python, no need to worry about how the codes are structured or built. A line is enough to execute some complex programs in Python as against other programming languages that require long lines of code for simple tasks.
