The Python interpreter may be installed on multiple platforms (e.g., Linux, Windows, & MAC), which means Python scripts may also be written and executed on multiple platforms.

Python3 made significant changes from Python2. Therefore, Python2 code may not work with Python3 (and vice versa).

The Python syntax is similar to English language statements, which makes it relatively easy to learn. Python's flexible syntax also allows developers to write programs with fewer lines of code than some other programming languages. Similar to indenting paragraphs in the English language, Python relies on indentation (spaces or tabs) to define the scope of loops, functions and conditionals.
