Python

Définition

Python est un langage de programmation interprété, multi-paradigme et multi-plateformes. Il favorise la programmation orientée objet. Il est doté d'un typage dynamique fort, d'une gestion automatique de la mémoire par ramasse-miettes et d'un système de gestion d'exceptions; il est ainsi similaire à Perl, Ruby, Scheme, Smalltalk et Tcl.

Le langage Python est placé sous une licence libre proche de la licence BSD et fonctionne sur la plupart des plates-formes informatiques, des téléphones intelligents aux ordinateurs centraux, de Windows à Unix avec notamment GNU/Linux en passant par macOS, ou encore Android, iOS, et peut aussi être traduit en Java ou .NET.

Python (programming language)

Python is an interpreted high-level programming language for general-purpose programming. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability, and a syntax that allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code,[25][26] notably using significant whitespace. It provides constructs that enable clear programming on both small and large scales.[27]

Python 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.[28]

Python interpreters are available for many operating systems. CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is open source software[29] and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its variant implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
