Python 3.0 Alpha 4

Python is a remarkably strong dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. Python is often compared to Perl, Tcl, Scheme, Ruby or Java. Here are some key capabilities of Python : , very clear, readable syntax , strong introspection capabilities , intuitive object orientation , natural expression of procedural code , full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages , exception-based error handling , very high level dynamic data types , extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task , extensions and modules simple written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython) , embeddable within applications as a scripting interface.

Python runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. Python has also been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.
is distributed under an OSI-approved open source license that makes it free to use, even for commercial products.
