Python is primarily used for software development because it is a programming language.
Guido Van Rossum created Python in 1989, but it was only publicly released in 1991. The Python Software Foundation continues to develop Python, and the official Python website is (python.org).
Python was not named after the snake Python, but rather after the British comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus," according to Guido Van Rossum, the father of Python.
Python is an open-source programming language that is general-purpose, high-level, interpreted, interactive, and object-oriented.
Python is a general-purpose programming language, which means it can be used to write software in a wide range of application domains.
Python Applications and Python Uses
Python is used to develop:
1. Desktop GUI (Graphical User Interface)
2. Web and Internet Development (IoT – Internet of Things)
3. Games and 3D Graphics
4. Scientific and Numeric Applications
