Python is an interpreted, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. Interpreted language means, compiling not required. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991.
Python is named after a TV Show called ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ and not after Python-the snake.
It is used for:
- web development (server-side),
- software development,
- mathematics,
- system scripting.
- Download and install.
- Add path to the system. Restart the system (if windows).
- Once done, open terminal and type python. If the installation is successful, python version will appear.
