Python

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language designed with emphasizes code readability created by Guido van Rossum. Python is quite popular with new programmers and SBC programmers.

Python is already installed on your computer. It is not recommended to that you swap it out with a source version unless you've done a Linux From Scratch installation. Python version 2 is OK. Although a lot of people have started to program in version three and writing code that only works in version 3 to the chargrin of some folks.

It's this divisiveness between versions that makes me more of a Ruby programmer than Python programmer, but don't let that stop you if you still prefere to code in Python.
