Introduction #

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. It is designed with an emphasis on code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. It provides dynamic typing and garbage collection, which can facilitate rapid application development and scripting.

Technically, Python’s design philosophy prioritizes the readability of code, largely using English keywords where other languages use punctuation. It has a clear and expressive syntax which promotes clean and readable code, making it accessible to newcomers and reducing the cost of program maintenance. Python employs a late-binding dynamic dispatch for flexibility, and it uses duck typing to provide powerful typing. Python’s memory management model uses reference counting with a cycle-detecting garbage collector for automatic memory management. Furthermore, it supports the creation of coroutines and includes libraries for asynchronous I/O as well as for creating concurrent applications. Python’s extensive standard library and rich ecosystem of packages make it a versatile language for a wide range of tasks, from web development to data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing.
