Can Python do the same things as Java?

Unless you decide to be more specific than that, I'm going to assume you mean can Python & Java both perform: 1. GUI Development 2. Server-Side software & APIs 3. Mathematical computation & Machine Learning 4. Video/Audio (other binary data) 5. read more

They can do the same things, yes. They do it in different ways, but they are capable of doing the same things. Strictly speaking, anything you can do in Python, you can do in Java, and vice versa. However, both languages excel at certain areas. For data science and small websites, Python is often preferred. read more

Two things. In Java I use an IDE, which is a machine that helps me write code. It can do this well, much better than any Python IDE can, because Java is strongly typed. I use Jython to script my Java application, and Jython is great for building small applications, but it’s looseness makes it difficult to build anything large. read more

In this comparison, I will try to cover some basic language components, such as string, control flow, class, inheritance, file i/o, etc. All of them will be compared by using side-by-side examples. I hope this can provide java programmers a general idea of how Python and Java do the same thing differently. read more

Java is already installed on most home computers. You can write Java applets and expect them to work in most browsers. One thing you can't easily do in Java is quickly write short scripts that perform useful tasks. Python is more suitable for scripting than Java (although there are of course other alternatives too). read more
