                           PYTHON

                 Python is a high-level object-oriented programming language. It is a general-purpose language

                 with interactive features. Python is an open-source software and was founded by Guido Van
                 Rossum in 1991. It derives its name from a comedy program named Python's Flying Circus.
                 Python is extensively used in:
                 1.  Web Development                 2.  GUI Application Development            3.  Data Analysis

                 4.  Software Development            5.  Scientific Applications


                 FEATURES OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING

                 Python  is  a simple  and powerful language.            What language is google written in?
                 Following are the features of python:
                   Easy to understand: The syntax or grammar of Python is simpler, hence making it easier to
                   learn and understand. Writing programs in Python is easy as compared to other high-level

                   programming languages.
                   Open-source: Python is an open-source language and can be easily downloaded from the

                   Internet for free.
                   Portable: Programs written in Python can run on almost every known platform such as Windows,
                   Linux and Macintosh.
