Once upon a time...

...there was a Python. A language intended to be used mostly for writing scripts

But it evolved!

Now it can be used for a lot more things, such as...

NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib...

Parsing Data

Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, lxml...

Desktop Applications With GUI

PyQt, PySide, PyGtk, wxPython...

  • Powerful developer tools

Cross-platform
