0:Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, 
1:dynamic programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code 
2:readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts 
3:in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java.
4:The language provides constructs intended to enable writing clear programs 
5:on both a small and large scale.
6:
7:Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, 
8:imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a 
9:dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and 
10:comprehensive standard library.
11:
12:Python interpreters are available for many operating systems, allowing Python 
13:code to run on a wide variety of systems. Using third-party tools, 
14:such as Py2exe or Pyinstaller, Python code can be packaged into stand-alone 
15:executable programs for some of the most popular operating systems, so 
16:Python-based software can be distributed to, and used on, those environments 
17:with no need to install a Python interpreter.
18:
19:CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is free and open-source 
20:software and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its 
21:variant implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python Software 
22:Foundation.
