     Introduction to PYTHON:
                         (introduced by Guido Van Rossum in early 80s)
     Python is a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object-oriented scripting language. Python is designed to 
     be highly readable. It uses English keywords frequently where as other languages use punctuation, and it has 
     fewer syntactical constructions than other languages.
         Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not need to 
       
         compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL and PHP.
         Python is Interactive − You can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with the interpreter 
       
         directly to write your programs.
         Python is Object-Oriented − Python supports Object-Oriented style or technique of programming 
       
         that encapsulates code within objects.
         Python is a Beginner's Language − Python is a great language for the beginner-level programmers 
       
         and supports the development of a wide range of applications from simple text processing to WWW 
         browsers to games.
     Python Features
     Python's features include −
         Easy-to-learn − Python has few keywords, simple structure, and a clearly defined syntax. This 
       
         allows the student to pick up the language quickly.
         Easy-to-read − Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.
       
         Easy-to-maintain − Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.
       
         A  broad  standard  library  −  Python's  bulk  of  the  library  is  very  portable  and  cross-platform 
       
         compatible on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.
         Interactive Mode − Python has support for an interactive mode which allows interactive testing and 
       
         debugging of snippets of code.
         Portable − Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface on all 
       
         platforms.
         Extendable − You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These modules enable 
       
         programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more efficient.
         Databases − Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.
       
         GUI Programming − Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many 
       
         system calls, libraries and windows systems, such as Windows MFC, Macintosh, and the X Window 
         system of Unix.
         Scalable − Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.
       
         It supports functional and structured programming methods as well as OOP.
       
         It can be used as a scripting language or can be compiled to byte-code for building large applications.
       
         It provides very high-level dynamic data types and supports dynamic type checking.
       
         IT supports automatic garbage collection.
       
         It can be easily integrated with C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA, and Java.
       
     Python - Environment Setup
         Python is available on a wide variety of platforms including Linux and Mac OS X.
     Getting Python
