What it is and how it works
Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, it runs through an interpreter on most operating systems and supports several programming styles, including object-oriented, procedural and functional. It is maintained by the Python Software Foundation.
It is used in data analysis, science, machine learning and artificial intelligence, automation, web development and education, thanks to a large ecosystem of libraries such as pandas, NumPy and Django. Its readability makes it a common first language, although for highly speed-critical tasks it is combined with components written in other languages.
