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 <nowiki><pre></pre></nowiki> tags, or, preferably, <nowiki><lang ruby></lang></nowiki> tags. This will make it easier to copy code into and out of the wiki. Example:
<lang pythonruby>
<pre>
print 'this line must not have leading indentation!'
</pre>
 
The <nowiki><lang python></lang></nowiki> tag adds syntax highligthing:
<lang python>
if True:
print 'example: ', foo(3), len(bar)
