How does python differe from other scripting languages
>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-67hh86N42Q

In [5]:
## Our first program
print("Hello world")
In [ ]:
## Add some interaction
name = input()
print("Hello " + name)
In [3]:
%%writefile hello_world_interactive.py
## Same as above but using Jupyter magic command '%%writefile' to save as a text file
name = input()
print("Hello " + name)
