Python is a language that enforces coding simplicity and consistency.

Java is verbose, and forces programmers to create larger code for a function, when compared to Python.

Java programs often run much faster than Python ones, however they also tend to consume much more memory.

Java has several mature opensource GUI builders, more support for enterprise class application (see J2EE).

Java does not yet support lambda expressions, but they are scheduled for inclusion in Java 8. Lambda expressions are an integral part of Python.

Java has a C-like syntax. Python has an indentation-sensitive syntax and provides syntatic sugar like list comprehensions.

Language Type

Java is a statically typed language. Python is a dynamically typed language.
