About Python

Python is an interpreted, general-purpose high-level programming
language[5] whose design philosophy emphasizes code
readability.[6] Python aims to combine "remarkable power with
very clear syntax",[7] and its standard library is large and
comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is
unique among popular programming languages.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms, primarily but
not limited to object-oriented, imperative and, to a lesser
extent, functional programming styles. It features a fully
dynamic type system and automatic memory management, similar to
that of Scheme, Ruby, Perl, and Tcl. Like other dynamic
languages, Python is often used as a scripting language, but is
also used in a wide range of non-scripting contexts.
The reference implementation of Python (CPython) is free and
open source software and has a community-based development
model, as do all or nearly all of its alternative
implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python
Software Foundation.
Python interpreters are available for many operating systems,
and Python programs can be packaged into stand-alone executable
code for many systems using various tools.
