learning and experimenting python.

[einstein1410]

Hello everyone,
I am the new comer and learner of python.
I have a doubt that when I type python and press enter it shows a prompt like
>>>
But why it is >>> ?
Is there any special reason?
Why it is not setted as @,& or any other special characters?
