What is python?

Python is a cross-platform computer programming language. Is a high-level scripting language that combines interpretation, compilation, interaction and object-oriented. Originally designed for writing automated scripts (shell), with the continuous updating of versions and the addition of new language functions, it is increasingly used for the development of independent and large-scale projects.

Python was founded by the Dutchman GuidovanRossum. 1989 during Christmas in Amsterdam, Guido decided to develop a new script interpreter as the inheritance of ABC language in order to pass the boredom of Christmas.

Python (meaning Python) was chosen as the name of the programming language, which was taken from the TV comedy Flying Circus of Python Troupe, which premiered in Britain in 1970s.

Extended data:

Python means python in Chinese. In a computer, it is a programming language. Python (English pronunciation:/? Dad? θ? N/), an object-oriented and interpretive computer programming language, was invented by GuidovanRossum at the end of 1989, and was first published in 199 1. Python syntax is concise and clear, and the class library is rich and powerful.

Often dubbed glue language, it can easily connect various modules made by other languages (especially C/C++). A common application situation is to quickly generate the prototype of a program (sometimes even the final interface of the program) with Python, and then rewrite the parts with special requirements in a more suitable language.

For example, the graphics rendering module in 3D games requires extremely high performance and can be rewritten in C++. 1 development process editing has been widely used in system management tasks and Web programming since the birth of Python language in the early 1990s. Python has become one of the most popular programming languages.
