what is the python programming language?

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language which is created by Guido van Rossum during 1985-1990 and was released in 1991. It emphasizes code readability. Python is developed as a highly interactive, Object Oriented programming language which lets you learn and work more quickly than other languages.

The salient features of Python Programming Language are:

• Interpreted - It is processed at run time. No need to be compiled before executing.
• Interactive - Python Prompt enables you to interpret directly.
• Object-Oriented - Python encapsulates code within objects. Supports the object-oriented style of programming.
• Portable and Extendable - It can run on a variety of platforms and can share the same interface on all platforms. Python standard library is very portable on Unix, Windows and other Operating systems. Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.
