Introduction


Python is a powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. This free and open source software is designed by Guido van Rossum. And its license is administered by the Python Software Foundation. This widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language is available for all major operating systems such as Windows, Linux/Unix, OS/2, Mac, Amiga etc. Python can integrate with COM, .NET, and CORBA objects. It also supported for the Internet Communications Engine (ICE) and many other integration technologies.
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.
