History of Python
History
• Python foundation stone laid in the year 1980.
• Python implementation started in the year 1989.
• Python officially released in the year 1991 Feb.
• Python developed By GUIDO VAN ROSSUM.
• Python developed at National Research Institute for
Mathematics and Computer Science in Nether lands.
• ABC programming language is the Predecessor of
Python Programming language.
The Name & Logo
• Rossum wanted the name of his new
language to be short, unique and mysterious.
• Inspired by Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a BBC
comedy series, he named the language python.
• The Python logo is a stylized snake that is twisted
around the letter "P."
• The snake is meant to represent the power and
flexibility of the Python programming language.
• The letter "P" is meant to represent the name of
the language.
• The logo was designed by Guido van Rossum, the
creator of Python.
Versions of Python
• Python Programming contains two Versions.
1. Python 2.x---Here x--->1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ---outdated
2. Python 3.x----> here x--> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
• Python 3.x does not contain backward
compatibility with Python 2.x
• To down load Python 3.x software, we use
www.python.org
• Python Software and its updations are
maintained by a Non-Commercial Organization
called “Python Software Foundation (PSF)”.
