Python is a dynamically-typed programming language that supports object-oriented and functional programming. It’s the brainchild of Guido van Rossum, who began writing Python in late 1989 and early 1990 as the scripting language for the Amoeba operating system.
Its design was inspired by a number of other languages, including C, Modula-3, and particularly the educational language ABC. Van Rossum released it publicly in 1991, and since then Python has been gathering a large and enthusiastic group of users including professional programmers, educators, and computer scientists. Van Rossum, who is known to all as just Guido, or sometimes the BDFL (“benevolent dictator for life”), is still Python’s lead developer and designer. Python gets its name from the Monty Python comedy troupe, and Python culture is peppered with references to those irreverent comedians (e.g. IDLE, after Eric Idle, is the name of the IDE that comes with Python).
Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python claims to ?[combine] remarkable power with very clear syntax, and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation as block delimiters is unusual among popular programming languages.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms (primarily object oriented, imperative, and functional) and features a fully dynamic type system and automatic memory management.
