A: 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. It is extensible in C or C++.
You can use it as an extension language for applications that needs 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.
