​ Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language.

​ It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991.

​ Python emphasizes code readability and simplicity.
​ The language supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural,
object-oriented, and functional programming.
​ Python uses dynamic typing and automatic memory management.
​ The syntax is clean and easy to learn, making it suitable for beginners.
​ Python has a large standard library that includes modules for various tasks.
​ It is widely used in web development, scientific computing, data analysis, artificial
intelligence, and more.
​ Python uses indentation to define code blocks, eliminating the need for braces or
keywords.
​ The community-driven development model contributes to a vast ecosystem of
third-party libraries and frameworks.
​ Popular web frameworks include Django and Flask for building web applications.
​ Python is known for its extensive support for integration with other languages and tools.
​ The language is interpreted, but it can be compiled into bytecode for improved
performance.
​ Python 2 and Python 3 are two major versions, with Python 3 being the latest and
recommended version.
​ The Python Software Foundation oversees the development and maintenance of Python.
​ Python supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.
​ Its design philosophy is encapsulated in "The Zen of Python," a set of guiding principles
for writing computer programs in the language.
​ The popular package manager for Python is pip, which simplifies the installation of
external libraries.
​ Python supports multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
​ Jupyter Notebooks provide an interactive environment for data analysis and visualization
using Python.
​ Python has a strong presence in machine learning and artificial intelligence, with libraries
like TensorFlow and PyTorch.
​ The language has a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for interactive development and testing.
​ Python's list comprehensions and generators provide concise ways to create and
manipulate lists.
​ The Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) can limit the concurrency in multithreaded Python
programs.
​ Python's popularity is attributed to its versatility, ease of learning, and a supportive
community.
