Python
Python is a
dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be
used for many kinds of software development. It provides strong support
for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive
standard libraries, and is easy to learn..
Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language
that is used in a
wide variety of application
domains (e.g. web/internet development, database access, desktop
graphical user interfaces, for scientici and numeric computing,
education, network programming, software development, 3D graphics
(including gaming), and more. Python is often
compared to Tcl, Perl,
Ruby, and Scheme, popular scripting
languages.
Key distinguishing
features include::
- 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
