Pros
1. Built-in Data Classes: Python 3.7 introduced data classes, making it easier to handle structured data by automatically generating special methods like `__init__()` and `__repr__()`.
2. Enhanced Typing Support: The 'typing' module received new updates, like the `typing.OrderedDict`, enhancing code quality and readability through better type hints.
3. Performance Improvements: Python 3.7 offers speed enhancements over previous versions due to optimizations like dictionary merging and a faster attribute access method, resulting in more efficient execution of programs.
Cons
1. Performance: Python 3.7 can be slower than other languages like C++ or Java due to its interpreted nature, which may lead to increased execution time for compute-intensive applications.
2. Mobile Development: It is not commonly used for mobile app development, making it less ideal for creating applications for iOS or Android compared to languages like Swift or Kotlin.
3. Memory Consumption: Python 3.7 can be quite memory-intensive, and inefficient memory usage can lead to higher memory consumption in large-scale or complex applications, potentially affecting performance on PCs with limited resources.
