Python

Programming Languages

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language designed to emphasize readability, simplicity, and ease of writing. It uses significant indentation, includes an extensive standard library, and provides garbage collection. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, with emphasis on object-oriented programming and dynamic typing. Guido van Rossum began work on it in the late 1980s as a successor to ABC. Python is widely taught as an introductory programming language.
