Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional and procedural, and has a large and comprehensive standard library.

One of the great strengths of the Python community, is that it was it with a "open by default" culture. The packaging system is built around open standards, about everything the community does is open-sourced. Even if there are many successful businesses built on Python, most companies still contribute back their code, because that's what we always do.

Since the code and the tools are free and easy to learn, it has become a first computer language in several universities around the world. The community is built on very positive values such as sharing knowledge, education and diversity.
