Interpreted
There are no separate compilation and execution steps like C and C++.
Directly run the program from the source code.
Internally, Python converts the source code into an intermediate form called bytecodes which is then translated into native language of specific computer to run it.
No need to worry about linking and loading with libraries, etc.
Platform Independent
Python programs can be developed and executed on multiple operating system platforms.
Python can be used on Linux, Windows, Macintosh, Solaris and many more.
Free and Open Source; Redistributable
High-level Language
In Python, no need to take care about low-level details such as managing the memory used by the program.
Simple
Closer to English language;Easy to Learn
More emphasis on the solution to the problem rather than the syntax
Embeddable
Python can be used within C/C++ program to give scripting capabilities for the program’s users.
Robust:
Exceptional handling features
Memory management techniques in built
Rich Library Support
The Python Standard Library is very vast.
Known as the “batteries included” philosophy of Python ;It can help do various things involving regular expressions, documentation generation, unit testing, threading, databases, web browsers, CGI, email, XML, HTML, WAV files, cryptography, GUI and many more.
Besides the standard library, there are various other high-quality libraries such as the Python Imaging Library which is an amazingly simple image manipulation library.
