Python is an interpreted, interactive, and object-oriented programming language similar to Perl. Python is known as a relatively easy programming language to learn, due to its clear syntax and readability. One notable application of this is that Python indents source statements to make the code easier to read. Python is portable, meaning its statements can be interpreted on a number of operating systems, including UNIX-based systems, Mac OS, MS-DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows. The source code is freely available and open for modification and reuse.

Python offers modules, exceptions, dynamic data types, ready-made classes, and interfaces to many system calls and libraries. It can be extended, using the C or C++ language. Python can be used as the script in Microsoft Active Server Page (ASP ) technology.
