What makes Python so AWESOME
summary
Open-source license and commercial distributions let companies ship Python broadly; the ecosystem adds pip (15,000+ packages) for instant reuse. Readability, rapid development and the interactive prompt speed iteration; iterators, generators and comprehensions let one chain streaming transforms. Decorators make cross-cutting concerns trivial and decorators with lru_cache turn naive recursion into fast dynamic programming. Batteries included, file/DB/web protocols, context managers (with), and ABCs standardize APIs so independently written libraries actually interoperate.
