Professionals, Computer Scientists

Python runs everywhere

Python is Open
Freely usable and distributable,
even for commercial use

Extensions and modules


Written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython
or .NET languages for IronPython)
Powerful Libraries like Scipy and

Better support ?

Less code is better.


(Better way to say Hello World?)
