Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding and a simple, easy to learn syntax which emphasizes readability, make it attractive for rapid application development. Learn how to code small, practical programs to automate tasks on your computer and build your skills to create progressively elaborate 3D structures. Python encourages code reuse and an extensive, free library is available in source or binary form for all major platforms.
