What is python ?
Python is dynamically but strongly programming language typed. It is a combination of good performance and features that make writing Python programs mixture of easy and fun.
Guido van Rossum started the design of Python programming language in 1980. Over the years, Python has gained popularity in a broad range of fields from web development, games, usage as a scripting language, and of course science and engineering.
Why Python?
- Very-high-level dynamic
- It’s easy to learn and read .
- Object-oriented programming language
- full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
- exception-based error handling
- 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)
- Python is free to use, even for commercial products, because of its OSI-approved open source license. This openness makes that Python plays well with with other languages and is easily extendible.
- Python runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and has been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.
- Python offers two to ten fold programmer productivity increases over languages like C, C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic (VB), and Perl.”
