I enjoy programming in Python because its syntax and structure is simple, it was designed with readability in mind and is supported by several useful libraries for almost anything a software developer needs. It is widely used in many different types of projects and domains, giving me an opportunity to participate in the development of larger variety of applications. I also like the concise documentation and tutorials on its official site.
