Python - Introduction

As per 2018 survey conducted by Stackoverflow.com , Python is the 7th most sought language and most wanted technology.The question is why python is so demanding ? Here are the few points that i have observed and gathered through books and internet.

into machine code.

Python 3 has 33 keywords, and Python 2 has 31. By contrast, C++ has 62, Java has 53, and Visual Basic has more than 120, though these latter examples probably vary somewhat by implementation or dialect.
