Python

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It was conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands, as a successor of the ABC programming language. Van Rossum published the code in 1991 and the language has now an open, community-based development model managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.

Highly readable and coming with a complete documentation, the Python code is more maintainable and has higher quality than other languages, which brings a better productivity. Python has also a large standard library, commonly cited as one of Python's greatest strengths. Powerful and fast, it can run on all major operating systems. It also offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools.

Python is used by:

  • the Zope application server
  • the Mnet distributed file store
  • Youtube
  • the original BitTorrent client
  • Google
  • NASA
  • And many more ...
