Got to have my (Monty) Python.

The Ministry of Silly Walks, a dead parrot, and a quest for one of history's most sought after relics have all led to this.  

A computer programming language that can help you learn and teach coding in your classroom.  

Python is a computer programming language named after the legendary British comedy troupe Monty Python.  

If you haven't seen them, stop reading and get ye to YouTube right away.  Your life will be better for it.


For this post, Python shall henceforth reference Python 3.4.1, available here.  It's designed to be clear, concise, functional, and therefore a great language for beginners to dive into.  

Here are some of the things you can do with this language: 

• Create simple to complex programs, including games and web apps.
• Use a variety of libraries and modules to add functionality to your program.
• Take advantage of great documentation and tutorials, like the courses available at Codeacademy.  

It's great language to get started on and dive into the world of computer programming.
