Python is a high level programing language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python claims remarkable power with very clear syntax. Its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unusual among popular programming languages.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms (primarily object oriented,) and features a fully dynamic type system and automatic memory management, similar to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, and Tcl. Like other languages, Python is often used as a scripting languages.
The language has an open, community-based development model managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation, which maintains the
definition of the language.
