Overview:

Python is an object-oriented, interpreted, server-side programming language for the development of dynamic webpages. It incorporates support of many external object libraries, classes and exceptions. Python runs on a wide variety of platforms and operating systems. Currently there are few Python-enhanced websites but its popularity is growing as is support for the language. Python handles large numerical arrays and complex animated graphics displays particularly well. Because Python is an interpreted language it is not suited to very large or robust applications where compiled program modules would function better.
