it is also a programming language, like C++. The biggest difference is that Python is an interpreted language whereas C++ is a compiled one. The translation to machine code (= compiling, linking) happens during runtime. This means that the program runs a little bit slower but with nowadays computers you won't notice too much of a difference. You will find that wikipedia is a very good source to answer these kind of questions in detail.
edit: buh, much too slow.
