Python is a powerful object-oriented programming language initiated by Guido van Rossum in 1990. It is easy to start writing simple programs in Python, and even using classes and objects involves a relatively gentle learning curve.
Python is cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). It is open source (and free) and supported by a sizable developer community. Python is a general-purpose programming language with significant numerical capabilities, though a common use of Python is managing servers, administering systems, etc.
Python itself does not provide graphics output. The Tk graphics library can be used to create 2D graphics, but it is aimed at very experienced programmers and does not support 3D displays.
