Python is an interpreted, high-level language created by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991. It is dynamically typed and garbage collected.
Python programs have the extension .py and can be run from the command line by typing python file_name.py.
Probably its most noticeable characteristic is its use of significant white space to delimit code blocks, instead of the more popular {} symbols.
End-of-line semicolons (;) are optional and usually not used in Python.
