Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.
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 in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language
for applications that need a programmable interface.
