- 5. What is Python?Pythonis a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.- Taken from the official Python site, python.org
- 6. Who’s Using Python?Pythonplays a key role in our production pipeline. Without Python a project the size of Star Wars: Episode II would have been very difficult to pull off. From crowd rendering to batch processing to compositing, Python binds all things together. -- Tommy Burnette
- 7. Who’s Using Python?Pythonhas been an important part of Google since the beginning. -- Peter Norvig.http://code.google.com/appengine/Python application servers and Python scripting to create the web UI for BigTable (their database project)
- 8. Who’s Using Python?Wechose Python because it provides maximum productivity, code that's clear and easy to maintain, strong and extensive (and growing) libraries, and excellent capabilities for integration with other applications on any platform. -- Steve WaterburyWorkflow automation servers

- 15. Scalable – canplay nicely with other languages
- 16. GUI support –GUIs typically developed with TkPython’s Weaknesses Can be slower than compiled C or C#
- 17. Relies ona locking mechanism called the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in multi-threading
- 18. Implementations in otherlanguages get around – specifically Jython and IronPythonImplementationsCPython - implemented in C, the primary implementation
- 19. Jython - implementedfor the JVM
- 20. Pypy - implementedin Python
- 21. IronPython - implementedin C#, allows python to use the .NET librariesWhat is IronPython?IronPython is the open source .NET implementation of the Python programming language, giving Python programmers the benefits of the .NET libraries while still maintaining compatibility with straight Python.

- 45. IronPython Recommended ReadingIrecommend technical books typically based on their reference value, as I usually get bored within the first few sentences and end up turning them into references rather than reading through them. This book, however, was one that I read cover-to-cover...Overall, I would recommend IronPython in Action for anyone wanting to learn IronPython.– Sarah DutkiewiczThe Coding Geekette (reviewed for Manning Publications)http://www.ironpythoninaction.com
