Python introduction

 

Python is a interpreted high-level general purpose programming language.

 Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant indentation Its language construct  as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmer write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collector.

 It supports multiple programming  paradigms, including structured , object-oriented and functional programming. 

Python is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.

Guido van Rossum began working on Python in the late 1980s, as a successor to the ABC programming language, and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. 

Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and introduced new features, such as list comprehension and a garbage collection system using reference counting. 

Python 3.0 was released in 2008 and was a major revision of the language that is not completely backward-compatible and much Python 2 code does not run unmodified on Python 3.

 Python 2 was discontinued with version 2.7.18 in 2020.
