Description:
|
Python is a simple, yet powerful programming language
that bridges the gap between C and shell programming,
and is thus ideally suited for rapid prototyping. Its
syntax is put together from constructs borrowed from a
variety of other languages; most prominent are
influences from ABC, C, Modula-3 and Icon. Python is
object oriented and is suitable for fairly large programs.
