Python is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language . It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of whitespace. Its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.[28]
Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly, procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.[29]
Python was created in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC language. Python 2.0, released in 2000, introduced features like list comprehensions and a garbage collection system .
Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision of the language that is not completely backward-compatible, and much Python 2 code does not run unmodified on Python 3.
The Python 2 language was officially discontinued in 2020 (first planned for 2015), and "Python 2.7.18 is the last Python 2.7 release and therefore the last Python 2 release. No more security patches or other improvements will be released for it. After Python 2, only Python 3.6.x and later are supported.
Python interpreters are available for maximum OS. A non-profit organization, the Python Software Foundation, manages and directs resources for Python and CPython development.
