Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language known for its:
 Readability and simplicity (easy syntax like plain English)
 Extensive libraries for tasks like data analysis, machine learning, web development,
automation, and more
 Platform independence (write once, run anywhere)
 Open-source and free to use
Features of Python:
 Dynamically typed: No need to declare data types explicitly
 Interpreted language: Executes line-by-line, making it easier to debug
 Object-oriented: Supports classes and objects
 Vast ecosystem: Libraries like NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Django,
Flask, etc.
 Cross-platform: Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux
