About Python
What is Python?
Python is an open source object-oriented programming language designed to make all kinds of programming jobs easier, whether they are small scripting tasks or large projects. Python runs on many platforms including Windows, Mac, UNIX, GNU/Linux and others, and implementations exist for the Java virtual machine (Jython) and the Common Language Runtime (IronPython).
Amongst the many features Python has to offer are:
- An interactive mode where you can try things out
- A clear syntax
- Dynamic typing, with very high-level data types
- Modules, classes, exceptions
