Python for Mac is 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.

Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.

Python runs on macOS, Windows, Linux/Unix, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. The tool has also been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.

The app is distributed under an OSI-approved open source license that makes it free to use, even for commercial products.

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
