An Overview of Python
Python is a high-level interpreted language that was created by Guido van Rossum, and named by Rossum after Monty Python's Flying Circus, a BBC comedic series of the 1970s. Perhaps due to its recent popularity, many people think Python is a new programming language. Contrary to this, Python was actually first released in 1991, and is even older than traditionally "old" languages such as Java. With the rise in needs such as programming in data science and machine learning, python has provided an easy go-to, for people not trained as programmers to get started. Additionally, older versions of Python could not address specific domains as competing languages could. Take for example Django, a python web-framework, which was created more than a decade after the release of python to simplify web development. However, as we move towards an automated world, where coding has become a sought-after skill, you cannot hate Python, as it provides an easy way to get started with programming. Now, how should you approach it?
