 Python

Python is a high-level general-purpose programming language that is interpreted. With the usage of considerable indentation, its design philosophy prioritizes code readability. Its language elements and object-oriented approach are intended to assist programmers in writing clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.



Python is garbage-collected and dynamically typed. It supports a variety of programming paradigms, including structured (especially procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming. Because of its extensive standard library, it is frequently referred to as a "batteries included" language.

Guido van Rossum began developing Python as a replacement to the ABC programming language in the late 1980s, and it was originally released in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. Python 2.0 was launched in 2000 and included new capabilities such as list comprehensions and a garbage collection mechanism that detects cycles (in addition to reference counting). Python 3.0, which was published in 2008, was a substantial change of the language that was not fully backward-compatible.

Python 2 was phased out with version 2.7.18 in 2020. Python is routinely ranked among the top programming languages.

Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands invented Python in the late 1980s as a replacement to the ABC programming language, which was influenced by SETL and capable of exception handling and interface with the Amoeba operating system. It went into effect in December 1989. Van Rossum was the project's sole developer until 12 July 2018, when he announced his "permanent vacation" from his responsibilities as Python's "benevolent dictator for life," a title bestowed upon him by the Python community to reflect his long-term commitment as the project's chief decision-maker. To guide the project, active Python core developers elected a five-member "Steering Council" in January 2019.
