huge number of modulespython has huge number of modules for covering every aspect of programming these modules are easily available for use hence making python an extensible language support of open source communityas being open source programming languagepython is supported by very large developer community due to thisthe bugs are easily fixed by the python community this characteristic makes python very robust and adaptive scalabilitypython is scalable programming language because it provides an improved structure for supporting large programs than shell-scripts weakness although python is popular and powerful programming languageit has its own weakness of slow execution speed the execution speed of python is slow as compared to compiled languages because python is an interpreted language this can be the major area of improvement for python community installing python for working in pythonwe must first have to install it you can perform the installation of python in any of the following two waysinstalling python individually using pre-packaged python distributionanaconda let us discuss these each in detail installing python individually if you want to install python on your computerthen then you need to download only the binary code applicable for your platform python distribution is available for windowslinux and mac platforms the following is quick overview of installing python on the above-mentioned platformson unix and linux platform with the help of following stepswe can install python on unix and linux platformfirstgo to nextclick on the link to download zipped source code available for unix/linux nowdownload and extract files nextwe can edit the modules/setup file if we want to customize some options nextwrite the command run /configure script make make install
