Python

A widely used open-source programming language that can be implemented in variety of ways, including in embedded applications.

There is a large library base which can be used by Python applications, helping minimize code and speed up development time. Python has gained popularity because of its clear syntax and readability. It is said to be relatively easy to learn and portable, meaning its statements can be interpreted in a number of operating systems, including UNIX-based systems, Mac OS, MS-DOS, OS/2, and various versions of Microsoft Windows 98. The source code is freely available and open for modification and reuse. Python has a significant number of users. A notable feature of Python is its indenting of source statements to make the code easier to read. Python offers dynamic data type, ready-made class, and interfaces to many system calls and libraries. It can be extended, using the C or C++ language.
