Python is a powerful object oriented programming language that is

developed and maintained by a global community of Open Source

contributors, under the oversight of the Python Software Foundation.

Python's unique blend of simplicity and power excels in a wide range of

software development tasks, including the construction of web

applications, complex integrated business solutions, and large desktop

applications. Python is often characterized as an agile language that

promotes speedy development and includes a unit-testing framework for

building more robust applications.

Key features of Python include:

• Object orientation, modular name spaces, exceptions, and multi-threading
  
  
• High-level dynamic data typing and very late binding
  
  
• Tight integration with C, C++, and Java modules
  
  
• May be compiled to Java byte code for use in any JVM
  
  
• String and regular expression processing
  
  
• Extensive XML and web services support
  
  
• HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP, telnet, and other IP protocols
  
  
• HTML, MIME, base64, binhex, uuencode, and other internet data handling
  
  
• GUI development and multimedia services
  
  
• Unit testing, profiling, and documentation generation
  
  
• Available third party modules for database access, math, 3D modeling,
  
  image processing, LDAP, WebDAV, jabber, MIDI, and much more
