Python is a powerful high-level, object-oriented programming language. It has wide range of applications from Web development, scientific and mathematical computing. The syntax of the language is clean and length of the code is relatively short. It allows you to think about the problem rather than focusing on the syntax. SQLite is one free lightweight database commonly used by Python programmers to store data. Many highly trafficked websites, such as YouTube, are created using Python.
