Python is a freeware open-source cross-platform interpreted scripting language used by NASA ,
Google , Honeywell and many other companies and now days its also being distributed along
with all the major GNU/Linux distros.

Its been one the most favoured scripting languages due to its short and easy syntax which can
perform complex tasks and is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C
or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as an extension language for
customizable applications.

Many people might have tried using python before but on 03 Dec 2008 Python 3.0 was released
which is a major update to python syntax making its interpreter faster and more efficient.
