2.    Easy-to-read: Python code is much more clearly defined and visible to eyes.

3.    Easy-to-maintain: Python success is that it’s source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.

5.    Interactive Mode: Support interactive mode in which you can enter results from a terminal right to the language, allowing interactive testing and debugging of snippets of code.

6.    Portable: it can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface on all platforms.

7.    Extendable: you can add low-level modules to the python interpreter. These modules enable programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more efficient.

10.  Scalable: Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.

11.  It supports Structural and functional programming methods as well as OOP.

12.  It can be used as a scripting languages or can be compiled to byte-code for building large Application.

13.  It supports automatic garbage collection.

14.  It can easily be integrated with C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA, and Java.
