openSUSE:Python team
Introduction
According to python.org: “Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more efficiently. You can learn to use Python and see almost immediate gains in productivity and lower maintenance costs.”
Some of its key distinguishing features include:
- very clear, readable syntax
- strong introspection capabilities
- intuitive object orientation
- natural expression of procedural code
- full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
- exception-based error handling
- very high level dynamic data types
- extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
- extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
- embeddable within applications as a scripting interface
Python is an essential part of the openSUSE distributions and we are commited to provide you with the best possible Python experience on openSUSE.
