Python

Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its use of significant indentation. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for both small and large scale projects.

• it is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected.
• it supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly, procedural), object-oriented and functional programming.
• it is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.
