Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented
programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions,
dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes.
Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has
interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to
various window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is
also usable as an extension language for applications that need
a programmable interface. Finally, Python is portable: it runs
on many Unix variants, on the Mac, and on PCs under MS-DOS,
Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2. The Python Software Foundation is
an independent non-profit organization that holds the copyright
on Python versions 2.1 and newer. The PSF’s mission is to
advance open source technology related to the Python programming
language and to publicize the use of Python. The PSF’s home page

exempt in the US. If you use Python and find it helpful, please
