Answer 1

@alpha coder, it is easy to begin with but obviously like any language tough to master unlike c++ , java etc which are tough to begin.
that's y many online courses and sites , suggests learning programming fundamentals ( loops , branching , structures etc) for newbies with python. including MIT courses, edX , many YouTubers, etc

Script kiddies are not the people that use scripting languages, but those who copy others' creations and use them without knowing what they really do...😉😉

Answer 3

Python is a scripting language which has networking tools integrated in itself(which is not easy to learn) . Python can manipulate databases. Python is used by data scientists and i hope in future it will replace PHP as the most used web framework. Download kali linux and see the amount of wares written in python.
If you are someone interested in tinkering with the information security tasks, Python is a  great language to learn because of the availability of the large number of reverse engineering and exploitation libraries for your use.

Answer 4

Being a high level language, it is quite easier than C based and Java languages. Though, it allows networking faster than most other language (exceptions in PHP and ROR). In a nutshell, every language has its own benefit, python was not made to replace C, C++ or java. It was made to generalize networking and transparency in open source. Though we have made it into a general programming language which it was not meant too do. So, it's a bit slow and easy than other general languages.

Answer 5

Python is easier to learn. For a starter, i suggest Python is a good language to start with
