python.txt
Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language.
Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its use of significant indentation.
Its language constructs as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear,
logical code for small and large-scale projects.
Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected.
It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly, procedural),
object-oriented and functional programming. It is often described as a "batteries included" language
due to its comprehensive standard library.
Guido van Rossum began working on Python in the late 1980s,
as a successor to the ABC programming language, and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0.
Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and introduced new features, such as list comprehensions and a
cycle-detecting garbage collection system (in addition to reference counting).
Python 3.0 was released in 2008 and was a major revision of the language that is
not completely backward-compatible. Python 2 was discontinued with version 2.7.18 in 2020.
Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages.
