Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It
incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data
types, and classes. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.
It has interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various
window systems, and is extensible in C or C++. It is also usable as an
extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
Finally, Python is portable: it runs on many Unix variants, on the Mac, and on
Windows 2000 and later.

object-oriented programming, such as procedural and functional programming.
