Python is a highly readable language that is easy to use and learn hence it is gaining popularity as an education language. However, this should not lead anyone to consider it a child’s language for it is not. It is very powerful, flexible and platform independent. It supports many styles of programming from scripting and web design to GUI/Game development.
