Less secure

In terms of security, Python is considered to be less secure than some other programming languages such as Java or C++. This is because Python is a dynamically typed language, which means that data types are determined at runtime rather than at compile time. This can lead to vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows or injection attacks.

Additionally, Python’s popularity and ease of use make it a popular target for hackers looking to exploit vulnerabilities in code. The vast number of third-party libraries and modules available for Python can also pose a security risk if they are not properly vetted for vulnerabilities.

However, it’s worth noting that Python does have built-in security features such as its standard library’s “os” module, which provides secure ways to access files and directories. Additionally, there are third-party tools and libraries available for Python that can help improve security, such as the PyCryptodome library for encryption and hashing.
