Chapter 4. Getting Python and Neo4j to Talk Py2neo

Python is a widely used general-purpose and high-level programming language. The power of Python comes from the fact that it provides a high level of abstraction to the programmers from the concepts such as memory management, portability, and so on, which are the core features of Python, resulting in a readable, maintainable, and cleaner code. It emphasizes the speed of development where the programmers can pick up basic Python skills in a short time frame, and also describes the concepts and ideas in fewer lines of code in comparison to other programming languages such as C++ or Java.

Python is interpreted where it uses a just-in-time (also known as JIT) compiler named PyPy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyPy) and provides faster development cycles, along with ease of programming and debugging to the programmers.

Python is interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, and supports multiple programming paradigms such as imperative,...
