Python is an interpreter based programming language. The homepage of the python project is: http://python.org/. Python is used to generate some source files. Python version 2.2 and above should be working fine.
Python is available for most of the UNIX-like platforms and as the python package from the Cygwin setup
If Python isn't already installed and also not available as a package for your platform, you can get it at: http://www.python.org/.
After correct installation, typing inside the bash:
$ python -V
should result in something like:
Python 2.3.3
However, the version string may vary.
Have a look at http://python.org/download/
to download the latest stable release. You can download a setup there,
which will install the python system typically into
C:\python23
or similiar.
