About Python

A high-level, all-purpose programming language is Python. Code readability is prioritized in its design philosophy, which employs heavy indentation.

Python uses garbage collection and has dynamic typing. It supports a variety of programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming as well as structured programming (especially this). Due to its extensive standard library, it is frequently referred to as a "batteries included" language.

Python was created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s to replace the ABC programming language, and it was originally made available as Python 0.9.0 in 1991. New features like list comprehensions, cycle-detecting garbage collection, reference counting, and support for Unicode were added to Python 2.0, which was published in 2000. The 2008 release of Python 3.0 was a significant update that is not entirely backwards compatible with previous iterations. Version 3 of Python replaced version 2.2.7.18 in 2020.
