Platform for Python

A blank Python Server for development and deployment

Used by companies like Youtube.com and Industrial Light & Magic, Python is a dynamic programming language that is applied in a wide variety of application domains. Python can integrate with COM, .NET and COBRA objects, and is available for all major operating systems. Some of its more notable features include:

• very clear, readable syntax
• strong introspection capabilities
• intuitive object orientation
• natural expression of procedural code
• full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
• exception-based error handling
• very high level dynamic data types
• extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
• extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
• embeddable within applications as a scripting interface

Python is also usable as an extension language for applications written in other languages that need easy-to-use scripting or automation interfaces.
