 Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that emphasizes code

readability and simplicity. It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in
1991. Python has gained immense popularity due to its versatility, ease of learning,
and a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks.
 History of Python
 Creation: Python was conceived in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC
programming language. Guido van Rossum aimed to create a language that was easy
to read and write.
 First Release: Python 1.0 was released in February 1991, introducing features like
exception handling and functions.
 Evolution: Over the years, Python has evolved through various versions, with Python
2.0 released in 2000 and Python 3.0 in 2008. Python 3 introduced many
improvements and is the version recommended for new projects.
 Key Features of Python
 Simplicity and Readability: Python's syntax is designed to be intuitive and easy to
understand, which makes it an excellent choice for beginners.
 Interpreted Language: Python code is executed line by line, which allows for
interactive programming and easier debugging.
 Dynamic Typing: Variables in Python do not require explicit declaration of their type.
The type is determined at runtime, which adds flexibility.
 Extensive Standard Library: Python comes with a rich standard library that provides
modules and functions for various tasks, such as file I/O, regular expressions, and
web development.
 Cross-Platform Compatibility: Python runs on various operating systems, including
Windows, macOS, and Linux, allowing developers to write code that works across
different platforms.
 Object-Oriented: Python supports object-oriented programming (OOP) principles,
allowing for the creation of classes and objects, encapsulation, inheritance, and
polymorphism.
 Community and Ecosystem: Python has a large and active community, which
contributes to a wealth of third-party libraries and frameworks, such as NumPy,
Pandas, Flask, Django, and TensorFlow.
