The Python FAQ- Quick Answers to Common Python Development Company Questions

It is very important to stay on top of developing technologies to match up with constant changes happening in the digital world. Our experienced team at GKMIT can make it happen. Here is a quick guide on Python development and our way of working as a Python web development company.

1. What is Python used for?

Python is a fun language, and so much can be done using this language. It is intensely practical and useful for creating all kinds of scripts and software. Python is used for web development, game development, utility scripts, rapid prototyping of software, and it is eventually implemented in other languages.

Python language is a great choice for companies who are looking to thrive on current market needs and want to ride the wave of fast development. Why to choose Python?

• Being dynamically typed and mandating indentation, this language is highly readable.
• Easy accessible to developers, as have numerous libraries
• Scalability makes it easy to handle the task of all sizes
• Create prototypes and minimum viable products in a short time

 

2. Is Python free?

Python is a completely free and open-source language. Community driven development is one of the best aspects of Python, and this is mainly done through GitHub and IRC (users can discuss bugs, features, and other python topics)

3. What is the difference between Python2.x and Python 3.x?

In 2000, when the Python language was introduced, it was not that popular. As more developers seriously started picking and using it, the flaws became more apparent, which could not be fixed without major changes.

Python 3.0, introduced in 2008, brought many serious changes and led to new features and improvements, but this made language incompatible with Python 2.x. That is, the developers need to refactor their code to take advantage of Python 3.0. It became a tedious task, and many developers were not willing to do it.

This resulted in Python splitting into two supported versions: the 2.x “legacy” branch and the 3.x “present” branch. The 3.x branch is the focus of active development, and 2.x branch receives bugs fixes and security updates. Most of the companies nowadays are using Python 3.x, and we recommend using it. If your project relies on a library or framework that does not support Python 3.x, then rely on Python 2.x.

6. What are the best Python IDE’s?

A solid code editor makes a difference when you are working with Python and makes the coding experience enjoyable instead of hair-pulling frustration. For us, a good Python editor can be a text editor with extensions or a dedicated python IDE.

Python IDE

One of the best Python IDE worth mentioning is PyCharm. It is available in the free community and paid professional versions, which costs around $9/mo. For solo developers, the free community is more than enough. It is equipped with features like smart syntax highlighting, code inspections, graphical debugging and version control integration.

The paid version supports advanced business-oriented web development, including code profiling, integration with web frameworks, remote development, and support for databases.

Python text editors

Text editors for coding are various; this includes Sublime Text, Atom, Geany, and Visual Studio Code, among common picks.< /span>

7. What are the benefits of using Python?

Python is a general-purpose programming language that comes with web frameworks. The framework consists of modules that developers use to write and build web applications. Some prominent frameworks are Flask and Django. Python offers a host of threads, exceptions, along with an automatic memory management feature.

Benefits of using Python web development

• Easy to learn since it involves minimum code scripts.
• Identified as beginner-friendly language
• Python encourages swift development along with a luxury of a logical and clean web design.
• Free and open-source language
• Portability, extendibility and built-in data structure.

 

8. Which Python framework we love?

We provide a custom web-based solution using various frameworks.
