Python 3.3.2 (64-bit)

Download Python 3.3.2 (64-bit), a young and dynamic object-oriented programming language that was developed in the beginning of the 1990s. It is very easy to learn, but extremely powerful and can be used for creating compact, but robust applications.

Python, similar to Java, runs on many platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and even Nokia mobile phones. Its most popular implementations are: CPython, Jython, IronPython, and PyPy.

Some of its key distinguishing features include:

• Very clear, readable syntax
• Strong introspection capabilities
• Intuitive object orientation
• Natural expression of procedural code
• Full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
• Exception-based error handling
• Very high level dynamic data types
• Extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
• Extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
• Embeddable within applications as a scripting interface
