Python
What is Python?
Python is an object-oriented programming language notable for its clarity, power and flexibility. Python is an interpreted language, meaning that an interpreter reads and runs the code directly, rather than compiling down into static lower level code. While it is used in a variety of fields and contexts, including performance computing, Internet of Things, and full-scale web applications, it has gained particular popularity in the sciences and bioinformatics thanks to a rich catalog of tools such as iPython, Numpy, and Pandas.
