Contributing factors to the popularity of Python Web Application Development

Python is the most popular PHP framework used by millions of developers worldwide. In this article we will discuss about some of the features of Python Web Framework those make Python programming fun and widely adopted by developers across the Globe.

Python is one of the most popular high level programming language used for general purpose programming. It was designed with a philosophy emphasizing on code readability and clear syntax allowing Python developers use fewer lines of code to express concepts. It also provides constructs that facilitate writing programs on both small and large scale. Python supports multiple programming paradigms including procedural styles and functional, imperative, object oriented programming. The best thing about Python is that Python codes can run on a wide variety of systems as the Python interpreters for almost all type of OS are available.

Some key features of Python Programming Language

• It’s a multi paradigm programming language that supports both object oriented programming and structured programming.
• Many of the language features of Python support functional and aspect oriented programming including metaprogramming and metaobjects that we know as Magic methods.
• Some other features like logic programming and design by contract etc. are also supported in Python via extensions.
• Dynamic name resolution popularly know as late binding that binds helps in binding methods and variable names during program execution.
• For efficient memory management Python has dynamic typing, a mix of reference counting and a cycle detecting garbage collector.
• Python programming language comes with reduce, filter and map functions, list comprehensions, dictionaries, sets and generator expressions.
• It has a standard library with two modules namely itertools and functools those help implementing functional tools from Haskell & Standard ML.
• Python was designed to be highly extensible (rather than requiring building in all the desired functionalities to the language’s core).
• Python can also be embedded with existing web applications requiring a programmable interface.
• Python emphasises on clarity over speed. However, when speed is a must requirement, a Python offers the flexibility of moving time critical functions to extension modules written in other languages like C or using a just-in-time compiler called PyPy.
• We also have Cython that translates Python script to C, enabling direct C level API calls into Python interpreter.

Apart from the above Python is most popular among the Python Developer community due to availability of huge documentation and a large community support. Web development with Python is simple and fun and also less time consuming. And, if you are looking to hire Python developers, you can have plenty of options (as Python has a huge fan following) to choose from across the Globe.
