Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability, and a syntax that allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code,[25][26] notably using significant whitespace. It provides constructs that enable clear programming on both small and large scales.[27]
In July 2018, Van Rossum stepped down as the leader in the language community after 30 years.[28][29]
Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly, procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is often described as a glue code language because of its ability to run code on multiple platforms and integrate with existing applications.
Python syntax is often described as “executable pseudocode”,[30] and uses a significant amount of whitespace for readability.
A key feature of Python is dynamic name resolution (late binding), which binds method and variable names during program execution.
The design of Python offers some support for functional programming in the Lisp tradition. The language has map(), reduce() and filter() functions; list comprehensions, dictionaries, and sets. There is also a lambda construct.
Python’s developers strive to avoid premature optimization, and reject patches to non-critical parts of CPython that would offer an increase in speed at the cost of clarity.[31]
When speed is important, a Python programmer can move time-critical functions to extension modules written in languages such as C, or use PyPy, a just-in-time compiler. An important goal of Python’s developers is keeping it fun to use.[32]
This philosophy is sometimes summarized as:
There is beauty in π, elegance in an all-numeric telephone keypad . . . I am attracted to the simpleness of a perfect poker face, and the serenity of perfect punctuation mark placement. Just as art to be appreciated, comments to be enjoyed, and data to be played with, I enjoy reading Python philosophy.
