Python is a widely used general-purpose programming language initially designed in 1991 by Guido van Rossum. It emphasizes code readability through a simple syntax similar to English. Python can be used for web applications, connecting to databases, handling big data and complex mathematics. It works across platforms and allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than other languages. Popular applications include Google Earth Engine and integrating with ArcGIS.

1. History of Python
• Python is a widely-used general-
purpose, high-level programming
language. It was initially designed
by Guido van Rossum in 1991 and
developed by Python Software
Foundation. It was mainly
developed for emphasis on code
readability, and its syntax allows
programmers to express concepts in
fewer lines of code.
• The two of the most used versions
has to Python 2.x & 3.x. There is a
lot of competition between the two
and both of them seem to have
quite a number of different fan
bases.
2. What can do Python?
• Python can be used on a server to create web
applications.
• Python can connect to database systems. It can
also read and modify files.
• Python can be used to handle big data and
perform complex mathematics.
3. Why Python?
• Python works on different platforms (Windows,
Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
• Python has a simple syntax similar to the English
language.
• Python has syntax that allows developers to write
programs with fewer lines than some other
programming languages.
• Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning
that code can be executed as soon as it is written.
4. Applications of Python
Google Earth Engine
Python integrates seamlessly with ArcGIS (the most important reason,
obviously), so you don’t need to be an expert to begin putting it into action.
