History of Python

Python was created in 1989 by Guido Van Rossum.
In the 1980's he was working on his project at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) which is situated in the Netherland. That was hobby project because he was looking for an interesting project to keep him occupied during Christmas. He was using ABC programming language at that time, which was an interface with operating system and handled exceptions.
He had learned the syntax of ABC and some of its good features. It came with a lot of complaints too, so he fixed those issues completely and created a good scripting language that removed all the flaws.
Following that, he had decided that the name came from BBC TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus , as he was a big fan of the show, and he wanted a short, unique, and slightly mysterious name for his invention; thus, he names it PYTHON.

Why we need to learn python?

Easy to learn
Object-Oriented
Portable
Powerful and high level language
Simply looks like English language

How it is different from the other languages?
In other languages compiler first compiles the language and then convert into byte code and that byte code gives the output.
But in python it is directly interpreted into machine instructions and gives the output directly.

Python is mostly used in Web development as a framework called Flask and Django.
Python is also use in DevOps for automation related tasks to write a scripts.
Data science
Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence
Game development
