It is object-oriented and supports packages, modules, classes, user-defined exceptions, a good C interface, dynamic loading of C modules and has no arbitrary restrictions. Python is available for many platforms, including Unix, Windows, DOS, OS/2, Macintosh and Amoeba. 2. (compiler) A compiler for CMU Common LISP.
