Python

Python Introduction

Python is a popular and simple programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. Python 2.0 was released on 16 October 2000, featuring many new features such as list comprehensions, cycle-detecting garbage collection, reference counting, and Unicode support[TBD]. Python 2.7's end-of-life because it's backward incompatible and was initially set for 2015, and then postponed to 2020 out of concern that a large body of existing code could not easily be forward-ported to Python 3.[50][51] It no longer receives security patches or updates.
