Python description
A remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains

Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. Python is often compared to Perl, Tcl, Scheme, Ruby or Java.

Here are some key features of "Python":

· 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


Fans of Python use the phrase "batteries included" to describe the standard library, which covers everything from asynchronous processing to zip files. The language itself is a flexible powerhouse that can handle practically any problem domain. Build your own web server in three lines of code. Build flexible data-driven code using Python's powerful and dynamic introspection capabilities and advanced language features such as meta-classes, duck typing and decorators.

Python lets you write the code you need, quickly. And, thanks to a highly optimized byte compiler and support libraries, Python code runs more than fast enough for most applications.
