Python

This page requires expansion!
This page needs to be beginner friendly, giving an idea what Python is capable of and how to start using it.

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Python's object-oriented design emphasizes code readability and aims to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

Considerations

Python's ease of use comes at a cost of generally running 75 times slower than C and 50 times slower than C++. Compiling Python code with Cython can generally achieve up to a fifth of the speed of C++, but it cannot be optimized the same way as C++ unless the generated C code is modified.
