What is Python?

Python- a high-level programming language, which is widely used for general-purpose programming. The language was created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s and was named after Monty Python's Flying Circus.

It is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together.

The syntax of Python is simple and readable, making it easy to learn even for beginners. It has a large standard library that includes modules for various purposes such as web development, text processing, scientific computing and more.
