Python is an extremely powerful and dynamic object-oriented programming language(OOPL).
It has similarities to scripting languages such as Perl, Scheme, and TCL, as well as other languages such as Java and C++.
Guido van Rossum, Python's creator, started developing Python back in 1990. This stable and mature language is very high-level, dynamic, object-oriented, and cross-platformall characteristics that are very attractive to developers. Python runs on all major hardware platforms and operating systems, so it doesn't constrain your platform choices.
Python is easy to learn, so it is quite suitable if you are new to programming, yet at the same time, it is powerful enough for the most sophisticated expert.
