Python is an object-oriented scripting language originally developed by Guido van Rossum at CWI in Amsterdam, named after Monty Python's Flying Circus. It provides a small set of high-level data types, but it can be extended by adding new modules implemented in a compiled language such as C or C++ to provide new object types, or new functions and variables.
