                               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.

                                                                                                 Introduction to Python  87
