Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991). It is an interpreted, object-oriented language with dynamic semantics. Some key features of Python include:
-
Readability: Pythons syntax is designed to be easy to read and understand, which reduces the cost of program maintenance.
-
Built-in data structures: Python has high-level built-in data structures, which combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for rapid application development.
-
Modules and packages: Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse.
-
Multi-paradigm: Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured, object-oriented, and functional programming).
Python is often used for server-side web development, software development, mathematics, and system scripting. It is also popular for rapid application development and as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python is used in a wide range of applications, including machine learning, data science, automation, and building websites and software. Python is available for download for all versions and runs on different platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.
