Introduction

1.1 What is Python?

Python is a high-level scripting language which can be used for a wide variety of text processing, system administration and internet-related tasks. Unlike many similar languages, it"s core language is very small and easy to mas- ter, while allowing the addition of modules to perform a virtually limitless variety of tasks. Python is a true object-oriented language, and is available on a wide variety of platforms. There"s even a python interpreter written entirely in Java, further enhancing python"s position as an excellent solutionquotesdbs_dbs2.pdfusesText_2
