Introduction to Python Language

A new bee to Python Language..??  let me introduce it.

Python is an interpreted , object-oriented programming language. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. You almost see immediate gains in productivity and lower maintanence cost.

The Language's Author is Guido Van Rossum, a Dutch Programmer currently employed with Google.

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it"
--- Reference from The Zen of Python
