Enables you to run, execute and edit Python scripts in Windows

Whether you're new to programming or an experienced developer, it's easy to learn and use Python.

Python is described as a Dynamic Object-Oriented Programming language, but it can be used for many other purposes as well. The basic advantage of Python relies in its clear syntax, which gives a nice cushion to beginners. What I mean by clear syntax is that programming with Python is similar to writing a normal text, very similar to day-to-day English language.

Python supports almost all existing platforms. It runs flawlessly with Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm devices, Nokia mobile phones, Java and .Net Virtual Machines.
