The benefits of using Python as your software development language are numerous. Python has an easy syntax and it’s one of the easiest languages to learn if you already know another programming language like Java, C++, or PHP. With Python, there's no need to memorize anything because all code works on the same principles and is generally shorter than other programming languages. So while it may take more time to get started with Python than with other languages such as C++, once you have learned the basics then you'll find that it saves time when building larger projects.
