Object Oriented

Python contains most of the modern object oriented structures, functions and features.We can fully implement an object oriented applications with Python

Linux, Unix, Windows, MacOS and other operating systems are supported.

Python2

Python 2 is old version of the Python. This version was popular 5 years age but currently Python 3 is used. Some keywords and language features are improved in version 3. It is recommended to use version 3 for new applications.

Python3

Version 3 is the most recent version of the Python. It has more features and clear syntax then version 2.
