Python is an interpreted, high level and general purpose programming language. | |
Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. | |
Its language constructs and 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. | |
Python was created in the late 1980s, and first released in 1991, | |
by Guido van Rossum as a successor to the ABC programming language. Python 2.0, released in 2000, | |
introduced new features, such as list comprehensions and a garbage collection system with reference counting, | |
and was discontinued with version 2.7 in 2020.[30] 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. With Python 2's | |
end of life, only Python 3.6.x[31] and later are supported, with older versions still supporting e.g. Windows 7 (and old installers | |
not restricted to 64-bit Windows). |
