From the official Python website: "Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development."
It is easy to create clean bug-free programs in Python due to the motto: "Errors should never pass silently." Python source files (.py files) are typically compiled to an intermediate bytecode language (.pyc files) and executed by a Python Virtual Machine.
Note: because Python uses whitespace for structure, do not format long code examples with leading whitespace, instead use <pre></pre> tags. This will make it easier to copy code into and out of the wiki. Example:
print 'this line must not have leading indentation!'
The <lang python></lang> tag adds syntax highligthing: <lang python> if True:
print 'example: ', foo(3), len(bar)
</lang>
