Python is an interpreted programming language created by Guido van Rossum in 1990. Python is fully dynamically typed and uses automatic memory management; it is thus similar to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, Smalltalk, and Tcl. Python is developed as an open source project, managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
see: NumPy for tips on using this module.

Version history
- Python 2.5.2 — 2008-02-22
- Python 2.5.1 — 2007-04-18
- Python 2.4.4 — 2006-10-18
- Python 2.4.2 — 2005-09-28
Properties
- Python is strongly typed (i.e. types are enforced);
- dynamically, implicitly typed (i.e. you don't have to declare variables);
- case sensitive (i.e. var and VAR are two different variables); and
- object-oriented (i.e. everything is an object).
