Python is one of the programming languages which can claim to be both simple and powerful.

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language with efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas in many platforms.

Guido van Rossum, the creator of the Python language, named the language after the BBC show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”.
