Python on the Amiga

Who is Python for?

Python features

  • Simple - Reading a good Python program feels almost like reading English, although very strict English!
  • Easy to Learn - Python is extremely easy to get started with.
  • High-level Language - When you write programs in Python, you never need to bother about the low-level details such as managing the memory used by your program, etc.
  • Interpreted Execution - The read-and-execute ability of Python skips the extra step of program compilation.
  • Object Oriented - Python supports procedure-oriented programming as well as object-oriented programming.
  • Extensive Libraries - The Python Standard Library is huge. It can help you do various things involving regular expressions, documentation generation, unit testing, threading, databases, web browsers, CGI, ftp, email, XML, XML-RPC, HTML, WAV files, cryptography, GUI (graphical user interfaces), Tk, and other system-dependent stuff.
