What are the key features of Python?

The main features of Python are its simple syntax, a big standard library and the freedom to write code in more than one style.

  • Easy to learn: the syntax is short and close to English.
  • Interpreted: code is run directly, so you can test small pieces quickly.
  • Dynamically typed: you do not declare the type of a variable.
  • Object-oriented: supports classes and objects, and also procedural and functional styles.
  • Large standard library: modules for files, dates, math, web and more.
  • Free and open source: anyone can download and use it.
  • Cross-platform: the same code runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
