• •    Open source: Python is an open source language. Its source code is freely available and can be modified and
                  redistributed. This fosters collaboration and innovation within the Python community.
               • •    Object-oriented: Python supports object-oriented programming (OOP) programming paradigm allowing you to
                  create classes and objects, encapsulate data, and implement inheritance and polymorphism.
               • •    Cross-platform: Python code can run on various platforms and operating systems without modification, including
                  Windows, macOS, Linux, and others.
               • •    Community support: Python has a vast and active community of developers who contribute to libraries, frameworks,
                  and resources. This community support makes it easy to find solutions to problems and learn from others.
               • •    Easy integration: Python effortlessly integrates with other programming languages and technologies, facilitating
                  interoperability and compatibility with existing systems. It supports integration with C/C++, Java, .NET, and other
                  languages that allows developers to use their preferred tools and technologies within Python-based projects.
               • •    Strong industry  adoption:  Python  is  widely  adopted  across  various  industries,  including  technology,  finance,
                  healthcare, education,  and more. Its  robustness,  scalability, and extensive library support make it an attractive
                  choice for businesses seeking efficient and cost-effective solutions to their software development needs.
               • •    High-level language: Python is a high-level language, meaning it abstracts much of the complex details of the
                  computer's hardware. This allow developers to focus more on solving problems rather than worrying about the
                  underlying system architecture.
               • •    Comprehensive character processing: Python can handle all ASCII and Unicode characters, making it suitable for
                  international applications that require the processing of a variety of character sets and symbols.
