• There are various reasons to learn Python, most important of which have been enlisted below.

Easy to Learn

• Python is considered one of the most beginner-friendly languages. The syntax of Python is the simplest of all. 
• You don't have to learn complex variable types, use of brackets for grouping code blocks and so on. 
• Python is built upon the fundamental principle of beginner-friendliness.

Highly In-Demand

• According to a recent survey by indeed.com, Python developers are the second highest paid developers in USA. 
• The huge job potential of Python can be estimated by the fact that in 2014 the average hiring rate for programmers decreased by 5% but Python developers still saw an increase of 8.7%.

Ideal for Web development

• Python is lightning fast when compared with other web development languages such as PHP and ASP.NET. 
• Also, Python has myriad of amazing frameworks such as Django, Flask, and Pylons, which makes web development even simpler. 
• Websites like Instagram, Pinterest and The Guardian are all based on the popular Django framework.

Used Heavily for Machine learning and AI

• Python is the most widely used language for machine learning and artificial intelligence operations. 
• Python libraries such as TensorFlow and scikit-learn makes AI tasks much simpler when compared to MATLAB or R, which previously was the most widely used environment for data science and AI tasks.

Works with Raspberry Pi

• Python is the most popular programming language for the Raspberry Pi, which is a pocket size microcomputer used in a wide range of applications such as robots, gaming consoles, toys. In short, learn Python if you want to build things with the Raspberry Pi.

Corporate Darling

• Python has the fifth largest Stack Overflow community, and third largest meet-up community. 
• And most importantly, it is the 4th most used language at GitHub, which means there is tons of existing code to learn from.
