Topic: Python

Summary

Python is an interpreted, high-level programming language that is famous for its readability and ease of use. It supports many programming paradigms which include procedural, object-oriented as well as functional programming. Python sees extensive use in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence and scientific computing among other things. Its extensive standard library and large number of third party packages make it a tool for programmers and researchers in general.
