My name is Odi Ug, and I will lead you through this wiki...

Python is an object-oriented, interpreted, interactive programming language. It is often compared (favourably ;-) to Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Scheme or Java.

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, QT, KDE). 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 (more at PythonAdvocacy).

Feel free to add more useful stuff, but do us a favour and do tests in the WikiSandBox if you're not accustomed to Wiki technology. If you're new to wikis, please read WikiWikiWeb. WikiGuidelines contains a few hints on the rules we choose to follow in this wiki.
