Python is a powerful high-level programming language and a general purpose one very easy to use. It was conceived in 1980 and the first release was made in 1991 by Guido Van Rossum, principal author of Python. Python is a great option for advanced and non-advanced users who are looking for developing strong applications. Python has a philosophy centered in the increasing of the productivity and the application of a readable code. Too many people (researchers, programmers, economists, scientists and other professionals) are learning python due to its simplicity and high potentiality. Also the core syntax of python can be applied to software and hardware (minimalist semantic).

I am really surprised with the capabilities of Python because runs everywhere; it is open, python is friendly, very easy to learn and work properly with other technologies. For instance, Python support diverse programming paradigms such as object oriented as default, functional and imperative. Also it is a cross-platform programming language (running on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones) influenced by Perl, Java, c and others languages. Python can be used in many areas such as web development, database access, desktop applications, statistical software, video games and education.

With Python you only receive the benefit of be successful in your business, office, industry or independent project. There are too many success stories, institutions and companies which are been positively impacted using python. We have the case of “Forecast Watch” where Python is helping meteorologist to create more accurate whether forecasts. In the industry of visual effects, the company: “Industrial Light and Magic”, is using python to interconnect thousands of computers to produce wonderful graphic effects.

The United Space Alliance (USA) is using Python for developing some of their applications. They are using Python because it provides software cheap, fast and correctly. In their experience with Python they are satisfying all the needs of the NASA related to advanced software development. The government of United States decided that they need decrease data changes and the resulting rework, for save time and money. Some of the features that make Python the favorite programming language of developers today are:

• Simple syntax and easy to understand.

• The object orientation is very institutive.

• Procedural code has a natural expression.

• Support hierarchical packages.

• Extensions can be easily developed in other languages such as C, C++ and others.

• Can be used embedded in applications as a native script. Some of these applications are: SPSS, R and Open Office.

• And support dynamic data types.
