PenjanaKerjaya HIT2122 EIS TP000115C00011

Python is a remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of
application domains. Python is often used in web development, database access, desktop software
development, scientific and numerical analysis, software development, education and even game and 3D
graphics. Due to its versatility, it is used in a wide variety of industries by well-known names such as
Google, NASA, Industrial Light & Magic, Honeywell, Rackspace, Philips, etc.

Python has a very clear and intuitive object orientation syntax that lets you write the code you need
quickly. It has very extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually any task in any
problem domain. Should the need for integration arises, Python plays well with other language platforms
such as COM, .NET and Java. Python’s open source license makes it freely usable and distributable and
friendly for commercial use.
