Python Programming Language
What is Python?
Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation.
Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional programming. It is often described as a “batteries included” language due to its comprehensive standard library.
Package Managers
FASRC clusters use mamba. Mamba is available on the FASRC cluster as a software module either as Mambaforge or as python/3* which is aliased to mamba. For more information on Mamba and it’s usage on FASRC clusters, see the Python Package Installation entry.
Best Practices
TBD.
