Python is an interpreted language: this means that there is no compilation during development. Similar to PHP and Perl languages. Python is an interactive language: this means that you can use the Python prompt >; Execute the code directly after & gt& gt. Python is an object-oriented language: this means that Python supports an object-oriented style or programming technique in which code is encapsulated in objects.
Python is a language suitable for beginners: Python is a very suitable language for beginners, which supports a wide range of application development, from simple word processing to WWW browsers/websites to games.
History of Python: Python was designed by Guido van Rossum of the Netherlands National Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Python itself has developed from many other languages, including ABC, Modula-3, C, C++, Algol-68, SmallTalk, Unix shell and other scripting languages.
Like Perl, Python source code follows the GPL(GNU General Public License) protocol. Now Python is maintained by a core development team, and Guido van Rossum still plays a vital role in guiding its development. Python 2.7 is the last version of Python 2.x, which supports not only Python 2.x syntax, but also some Python 3. 1 syntax.
Python 3.0 was released on February 3, 2008 +65438, which is not completely compatible with the previous Python source code. However, many new features were later ported to the old Python version 2.6/2.7. Python version 3.0 is usually called Python 3.0, or Py3k for short. Compared with earlier versions of Python, this is a big upgrade.
