	Definition:	1. A simple, high-level interpreted language by Guido van Rossum <[email protected]>, 1991. Python combines ideas from ABC, C, Modula-3 and Icon. It bridges the gap between C and shell programming, making it suitable for rapid prototyping or as an extension language for C applications. It is object-oriented and supports packages, modules, classes, user-defined exceptions, a good C interface, dynamic loading of C modules and has no arbitrary restrictions. Python is available, among others, for Unix, Windows, DOS, OS/2, Macintosh, and Amoeba. Current version: 1.4, includes interpreter, libraries, and documentation. Home.
