Python is super easy to learn and has a ton of applications. For example, I've been writing HTTP requests to APIs in Java and it is way times easier in Python. Python also has great library support for beginners and pip is super easy to learn and install. Python's syntax is also relatively simple and is easy to read and understand with minimal to no knowledge of coding. OOP is also not too important to use in Python - as it's something that often scares away new developers.

Overall, it's a great langauge to start with if you are just learning progrmaming (I started with it myself) and it peaked my interest in learning other languages.
