<p>Though you are expected to know python and its syntax at basic level, let us discuss some fundamental concepts that will help you understand the python language better.</p>

<p><strong>Everything in Python is an object.</strong></p>
<p>That includes the functions, lists, dicts, classes, modules, a running function (instance of function definition), everything. In the CPython, it would mean there is an underlying struct variable for each object.</p>
<p>In python's current execution context, all the variables are stored in a dict. It'd be a string to object mapping. If you have a function and a float variable defined in the current context, here is how it is handled internally.</p>

<li>While it is very quick to build prototypes in python and there are tons of libraries available, as the codebase complexity increases, type errors become more common and will get hard to deal with. (There are solutions to that problem like type annotations in python. Checkout <a href="http://mypy-lang.org/">mypy</a>.)</li>
<li>Because python is dynamically typed language, that means all types are determined at runtime. And that makes python run very slow compared to other statically typed languages.</li>
