Let’s first see what Python looks like.

-**Functions** - Collections of statements grouped under a name. May or may not return a value.

-**Classes and Objects** - Python is object-oriented. A class is an abstract data type and a blueprint with no values. An object is an instance of a class. Everything in Python is an object.

-**Modules** - Modules are collections of related classes and functions. You can use code from these instead of writing your own for trivial functionality.

-**Packages** - They are collections of related modules. You can also create your own packages.

-**Lists** - These are collections of values in the CSV format. Lists are mutable objects.

-**Tuples** - These are like lists, but immutable.

-**Dictionaries** - These are collections of key-value pairs defined using curly braces.

-**Sets** - They can’t have duplicates, and are mutable.

-**[Sets](https://data-flair.training/blogs/python-set-and-booleans-with-examples/)** - They can’t have duplicates, and are mutable.

-**Comments and Docstrings** - Comments are for the developer, explain code and are declared with a hash (#) sign. Docstrings are documentation strings that explain code. There are no multiline comments.

- Large standard library

- GUI programming

- Dynamically typed
