> sir plz tell me the main differnces between java and python?

What kind of information do you want? Differences in syntax?, 
architecture? resource usage? They are completely different 
programming languages. Do you have a programming background? 
If so which languages do you know? That way we can compare 
with what you do know.

If you don't have a programming background forget Java and learn 
Python. You can learn Java later if you like but it will be easier to 
start from a knowledge of Python.

> And What are the advantages of python?

Python is easier to learn
Python produces more functionality for fewer lines of code
Python is more forgiving

And dont you want to know the advantages of Java?

Java is slightly faster (nowadays, it didn't use to be)
Java is easier to deploy because the JVM tends to be everywhere
There are more jobs for Java programmers

Thats a start...
