Python is a high-level programming language known for its simplicity and versatility. It is object-oriented, interpreted, and features dynamic semantics. Python is often used for scripting and connecting existing components, serving as a "glue" language. Its advanced data structures and dynamic typing make it ideal for Rapid Application Development (RAD), which emphasizes quick development and prototyping over detailed task planning. As one of the most popular programming languages today, Python is highly sought after in the industry.
