Python is a high-level, interpreted language known for its readability. Unlike many other languages that use curly braces {} to define blocks of code, Python uses indentation (whitespace).

• Indentation: Consistent indentation (usually 4 spaces) is required to define scope.
• Dynamic Typing: Variables don't need explicit declarations of types.
• Interpreted: Code is executed line by line, making debugging easier.

PEP 8 is the official style guide for Python code. Key rules include:

• Use 4 spaces per indentation level.
• Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters.
• Use snake_case for functions and variables, and PascalCase for classes.

python Standard
def greet(name):
    if name:
        print(f"Hello, {name}!")
    else:
        print("Hello, Anonymous!")

greet("Developer")

• IndentationError: Mixing tabs and spaces (always use 4 spaces).
• Scope confusion: Forgetting that Python uses indentation to define where a loop or function ends.
• Global Variables: Overusing global keywords instead of passing arguments.
