Preface

The world of computing has seen an incredible revolution in the past 30 years. Not so long ago, high-performance computations required expensive hardware; proprietary software costing hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars; knowledge of computer languages such as FORTRAN, C, or C++; and familiarity with specialized libraries. Even after obtaining the proper hardware and software, just setting up a working environment for advanced scientific computing and data handling was a serious challenge. Many engineers and scientists were forced to become operating systems wizards just to be able to maintain the toolset required by their daily computational work.

Scientists, engineers, and programmers were quick to address this issue. Hardware costs decreased as performance went up, and there was a great push to develop scripting languages that allowed integration of disparate libraries through multiple platforms. It was in this environment that Python was being developed in the late 1980s, under the leadership of Guido Van Rossum. From the beginning, Python was designed to be a cutting-edge, high-level computer language with a simple enough structure that its basics could be quickly learned even by programmers who are not experts.
