Python Is A Widely Used High-Level, General-Purpose, Interpreted, Dynamic Programming

Python is a widely used, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes code readability and allows programmers to write programs in fewer lines compared to languages like C++ and Java. It supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming and has automatic memory management and a large standard library. Python code can run on many operating systems and can be packaged into standalone executables. The reference implementation of Python is open-source and has a community-based development model.

Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming

language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers
to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The
language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and
functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic
memory management and has a large and comprehensive standard library.
Python interpreters are available for many operating systems, allowing Python code to run on a
wide variety of systems. Using third-party tools, such as Py2exe or Pyinstaller, [ Python code can
be packaged into stand-alone executable programs for some of the most popular operating
systems, so Python-based software can be distributed to, and used on, those environments with
no need to install a Python interpreter.
CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is free and open-source software and has a
community-based development model, as do nearly all of its variant implementations. CPython
is managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
The core philosophy of the language is summarized by the document The Zen of Python (PEP
20), which includes aphorisms such as:

Beautiful is better than ugly

Explicit is better than implicit

Simple is better than complex

Complex is better than complicated

Readability counts
