Python's name is derived from the British comedy group Monty Python, whom Python creator Guido van Rossum enjoyed while developing the language. Monty Python references appear frequently in Python code and culture; [189] for example, the metasyntactic variables often used in Python literature are spam and eggs instead of the traditional foo and ...
The java.lang.Class [2] class is the basis of more advanced introspection. For instance, if it is desirable to determine the actual class of an object (rather than whether it is a member of a particular class), Object.getClass() and Class.getName() can be used:
Multiple dispatch can be added to Python using a library extension. For example, using the module multimethod.py [13] and also with the module multimethods.py [14] which provides CLOS-style multimethods for Python without changing the underlying syntax or keywords of the language.
Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})
Python's runtime does not restrict access to such attributes, the mangling only prevents name collisions if a derived class defines an attribute with the same name. On encountering name mangled attributes, Python transforms these names by prepending a single underscore and the name of the enclosing class, for example:
Emacs, with the built-in python-mode. [1] Eric, an IDE for Python and Ruby; Geany, IDE for Python development and other languages. IDLE, a simple IDE bundled with the default implementation of the language. Jupyter Notebook, an IDE that supports markdown, Python, Julia, R and several other languages. Komodo IDE an IDE PHOTOS Python, Perl, PHP ...
