In brief, his reasons are:
- “Python has built-in modern data structures.” (Unlike, ahem, Perl.)
- “Readability counts.” (Python is compact, expressive, and enforces good formatting of code.)
- “Scriptability.” (Python can replace the complexity of shell scripts, make files, and compiled programs.)
- “Python is ecumenical.” (You can write object-oriented or procedural code, depending on your needs).
- “Interpretation is back in style.” (Python runs as fast as much compiled code without having to go through the compiling cycle.)
- If you “really need the speed,” you can write a plug-in module in a fast language such as C and execute the module from Python.
- “Python has powerful math libraries” (numpy, matplotlib, and other scentific libraries).
