Python is an extensively popular interpreted, high-level programming language for general-purpose programming. Created by **Guido van Rossum** and first released in 1991, Python has a simple syntax similar to pseudocode that prioritizes readability and allows programmers to express concepts clearly.
It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional programming, and procedural styles.
Python has a large and comprehensive standard library, which includes modules for tasks such as web development, data analysis, and machine learning.
The language’s dynamic type system and automatic memory management make it well-suited for rapid prototyping and development.
Python is widely used in a variety of domains, including web development, data analysis, machine learning, and scientific computing.
It is also a popular choice for education due to its clear syntax and extensive documentation.
