  Python programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Python is fully dynamically typed and uses automatic memory management; it is thus similar to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, Smalltalk, and Tcl.
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting Mathematisch Centrum (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor of the ABC programming language.
Python is sometimes refered to as a "scripting programming language", however Python proponents prefer to call it a high level dynamic programming language, on the grounds that "scripting language" implies a language whose primary use is the control of some other application.
