What is Python?
What is Python? Python is a high-level, object-oriented, interpreted programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic linking, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as being used as a scripting language or glue to connect existing components. Python's simple and easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of maintaining the program. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and extensive standard library are available in source or binary format at no cost to all major platforms and can be freely distributed. Programmers often fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: an error or an incorrect entry will never cause a segm
