Python

About Python

is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Scheme or Java. Some of its key distinguishing features include:

– very clear, readable syntax – strong introspection capabilities – intuitive object orientation – natural expression of procedural code – full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages – exception-based error handling – very high level dynamic data types – extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task – extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython) – embeddable within applications as a scripting interface

Python is available for all major operating systems: Windows, Linux/Unix, OS/2, Mac, Amiga, among others. There are even versions that runs on .NET, the Java virtual machine, and Nokia Series 60 cell phones.
