Introduction

Python, the high-level, interactive object oriented language, includes an extensive class library with lots of goodies for network programming, system administration, sounds and graphics.

This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Python version (currently v2.5).

The superb OO scripting language developed by Guido van Rossum (the benevolent dictator for life of the project).

It rocks - try it.

information

Software written in the Python programming language is executed by the Python interpreter. It is usually compiled into platform independent bytecode files to increase performance. Python compile and write bytecode *.pyc files alongside with *.py sources when *.py is executed.

Therefore software written in pure Python can be distributed as source code or as compiled bytecode. The latter is similar to Java.

Unfortunately, compiled bytecode files are incompatible from Python version to Python version. So Debian has several Python versions available.
