Python is a scripting, pseudoprocessing, object-oriented Open Source language with a clear syntaxis.
It was created in 1989 in Amsterdam by Guido Van Rossum, it is under copyright but it can be used and spread freely, even with commercial aims.
In this way, following the Open Source philosophy, during the years, a developer community has grown providing a great technical help.
The main advantage is its portability: it is written in ANSI C and so it is possible to write a Python translator for several platforms. Recently has been realized a translator even in Java and for palmars.
As regards performance, Python is fast because it is an interpreted language building its own code in a very efficient bytecode.
Memory is managed authomatically, according to the “garbage collection” mechanism avoiding the danger of the uncontrolled allocation of the memory.
Finally Python syntaxis is clear, clean, concise, without any pompous declarations and close to spoken language.
All this assures a quicker learning and an easy reading of the code written by other people.
