By the wikipedia definition of 4GL and 5GL, I'd say Python is neither. And it's not a VHLL either, again according to the wikipedia definition. But IMO it is too high level to be a traditional 3GL too.

Perhaps "Scripting language" is the best general category we have that Python fits into. But I hope not. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20130604/63195ce5/attachment.html>
