Disadvantages of Python Programing Language
In this tutorial, we shell be learning about top 4 DISADVANTAGES of Python Programing Language. Let’s get start.
PYTHON LIMITATIONS- SOME MINUSES
Although Python is very powerful yet simple language with so many advantages, it is not the perfect programming language. There are some areas where Python does not offer much or is not that capable. let’s see what these are:
List of Top 4 Drawbacks / Limitations of python programing Language.
- Not the fastest language
- Lesser Libraries than C, java, Perl
- Not Easily Convertible
- Not Easily Convertible
Now let’s, how they are one by one.

LIMITATION 1: Python Programing is not the fastest language
Python is an interpreted language not a fully compiled one. Python is first semi- compiled into an internal byte-code, which is then exerted by a python interpreter. Fully compiled languages are faster than their interpreted counterparts. So, here python is little weaker though it offers faster development times but execution-times are not that fast compared to some compiled languages.
LIMITATION 2: Python Programing is lesser Libraries than C, java, Perl
Python offers library support for almost for all computing programs, but its library is still not competent with languages like C, Java, and Perl as they have larger collection available. Sometimes in some cases, these languages offer better and multiple solutions than Python.
LIMITATION 3:
Python Programing is not Easily Convertible
Python interpreter is not very strong on catching “Type-mismatch” issues. For example , if you declare a variable as integer but later store a string value in it, Python won’t complain or pin-point it.
LIMITATION 4: Python Programing is not Easily Convertible
Because of its lack of syntax, Python is an easy language to program in. But this advantage has a flip-side too: it becomes a disadvantage when it comes to translating a program into another programming language. This is because most other language have structured defined syntax.
Since most other programming languages have strong-syntax, the translation from python to another language would require the user to carefully examine the python code and its structure and then implement the same structure into other programming language’s syntax.
So, now you are familiar with what all python offers. As a free and open -source language, its users are growing by leaps and bounds.
As per February 2013 popularity index, Python was 4th most popular programming language3 after – Java, PHP and C# That is the reason, its’s part of your syllabus. Together we’ll make it playful Python:).
