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 ~~use~~ whitespace for structure, do not format long code examples with leading whitespace, ~~but~~ use <nowiki><pre></pre></nowiki> tags. This will make it easier to copy ~~tested~~ code into ~~the wiki,~~ and ~~copying code~~ out of the wiki. Example:

Note: because Python uses whitespace for structure, do not format long code examples with leading whitespace, instead use <nowiki><pre></pre></nowiki> tags. This will make it easier to copy code into and out of the wiki. Example:

<pre>

print 'this line must not have leading indentation!'
