请问python是用来做什么

它是脚本语言
它类似javascript吗,还是shell,和现在的什么脚本功能比较象
不只是脚本语言啊,几乎可以做任何应用。

官方的定义如下

QUOTE:
Python® is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.
