Python
Overview
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level
programming language with dynamic
semantics
developed by
Guido van Rossum.
It was originally released in 1991. Designed to be easy as well as fun, the name "Python" is a nod to the British comedy group Monty Python.
Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance.
The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.
/ Inspiring with Students
Often, programmers 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.
