Why does everyone like Python?

I know most of the general reasons why people like Python, but not which ones take priority, which is important because I’m trying to replace it with a C++ library and Python is too big to get everything quickly, so I want to get the most important parts first.

it's syntax is close to the English language, and many programmers have a least a basic understanding of English. also you can code things super fast. you don't need as many curry brackets and semi colons like you do in Java and other programming languages

I think it's because you don't need to encode too much to print such simple code, unlike on C++, it can take you 5-8 lines just to print "Hello World!", while on Python you just type print('Hello world!'). Python is a simple programming language where you can make complex programs, like the Football Game Simulator.

Also the fact that you need white space to make the code function forces the code to be more readable. this can be a good or bad thing depending on the circumstances
