What advantages does Python have over MATLAB as a programming
language,
Python is a general purpose programming language.
Matlab is a mathematical modelling toool that happens to be
programmable.
You wouldn't sensibly use Matlab to create a web site, or an action
game
or a network analyzer, or a graphics editor, or....
You could use Python for any of these.
But Matlab beats Python if you want to build standard math models.
You can do those in Python, and arguably for very complex models
Python is better. But for "simple" models as found in most engineering
and science experiments Matlab will be easier to use. IMHO
