Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax underlines readability and therefore diminishes the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and freely distributed. Due to the above characteristics, python is well used for Rapid Application Development and as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components.
