| Python is an ''interpreted, interactive, object-oriented'' programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. | *[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5121649266422516795&q= Gay Niggers From Outer Space Movie On Google Video] |

| Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. | |
