Core Python Programming

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Python's design stresses code readability with its major use of whitespace. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach allows programmers to write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.

Python interpreters are available for many operating systems. An international group of programmers develop and maintain C Python, an open source reference implementation.
