Everything About Python | Beginner To Advanced
Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released on February 20, 1991. You may know Python as a large snake but here the name of this particular programming language comes from an old BBC television Comedy sketch series called Monty Python`s Flying Circus. Guido van Rossum doesn’t like snakes that kill the animals for food by winding their long bodies around them.
Python Characteristics
- Easy to learn because of it`s an understandable or easily readable syntax so anybody (technical or non-technical person) can learn it easily.
- It uses English Keywords not Punctuation like others
- It is a portable language which can equally run in different-different OS's (Operating systems) like Window, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, etc.
- It is a programmer-friendly language because it provides more scalability to programmers
- It is a free and open-source language
- It is an interpreted language which can execute the codes line by line at a time
- It has a broad library
- In Python, we can develop a GUI (Graphic User Interface) with the help of Tkinter, PyQt, WxPython, etc.
- We can integrate Python with other programming languages
- Python provides an interface to all databases.
- It provides a better structure for large programs
- It supports function, structured and OOP.
Why Python
Python is a trending Programing language it is one of those rare languages which can be both simple or powerful. If you are a C++ or JAVA programmer and you going to learn python then you will be surprised to see how easy it is and it’s syntax, structure. If you are a beginner or want to enter programming then python will be the best choice for your beginning because It is not only easy but also a powerful programming language. Python Widely-used in AI (Artificial Intelligence), Big DATA science, complex matrix and high-level programming language even with python you can do web development, software development, mathematics, system scripting, etc.
Why World`s Top Companies using Python
As we know Python is Object-Oriented high-level programming language. Now Python is attracting big companies because of its simplicity and features which provide more scalability to developers that's why it is more familiar to programmers.
Python developed for modern web and mobile development besides, the combination of Python and Data science is excellent
Python is able to generate code which provides scalability to developers. In other programming language case it is impossible.
The latest version of Python i.e. 3.7.2 got some improvements so now Python-based websites are able to handle thousands of requests each minute

History of Python
Python was conceived in the eighties and early nineties at Stichting mathematisch Centrum ( CWI https://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands. In 1995 Guido van Rossum continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives ( CNRI https://www.cnri.reston.va.us). Python first released on February 20, 1991, which derived from other languages like ABC, C++, C, Unix shell, Algol-68, Module-3, etc. It ideally designed for prototyping of complex applications.
