In this tutorial, we will learn about the Introduction To Python. How to use them with the help of examples.

Define Python

Python is a general-purpose language. It has wide range of applications from Web development
(like: Django and Bottle), scientific and mathematical computing (Orange, SymPy, NumPy) to desktop
graphical user Interfaces (Pygame, Panda3D).

  • Python is object-oriented, interpreted , dynamic & widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming.
  • Python created by Guido van Rossum and first release in 1991 from python software foundation.
  • Python is platform independent & open source language.
  • File name extensions in python .py
  • Officially Web site in Python : www.python.org
  • Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java.
  • Python is use to develop the different types of application such as web-apps, stand alone apps, enterprise apps, ERP and e-commerce application, scientific & numeric computing etc.

History of Python

Python is a fairly old language create by Guido Van Rossum. The design began in the late 1980s

Why Python was create?

In late 1980s, Guido Van Rossum was working on the Amoeba distributed operating system
group. He wanted to use an interpreted language like ABC (ABC has simple easy-to-understand syntax)
that could access the Amoeba system calls. So, he decided to create a language that was extensible. This
led to design of a new language which was later name Python.

Why the name Python?

No. It wasn’t name after a dangerous snake. Rossum was fan of a comedy series from late
seventies. The name “Python” was adopted from the same series “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. Python
was name for the BBC TV show Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
