2. HISTORY OF PYTHON
IN DECEMBER 1989, GUIDO VAN ROSSUM WAS SEARCHING FOR A HOBBY PROJECT
TO KEEP HIM OCCUPIED AROUND CHRISTMAS WEEK. SINCE HE HAD ALREADY BEEN
PLANNING TO WRITE A NEW SCRIPTING LANGUAGE DESCENDED FROM ABC, THAT
WOULD ALSO APPEAL TO UNIX/C HACKERS, HE ENDED UP WRITING AN
INTERPRETER FOR IT.
BEING A BIG FAN OF THE BRITISH COMEDY TROUPE MONTY PYTHON, HE CHOSE TO
CALL THE PROJECT ‘PYTHON’ IN AN IRREVERENT MOOD.
TODAY, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY-USED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES IN THE
WORLD. THE LIST OF TOP PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES BY THE IEEE SPECTRUM HAS
IT AT #1 AND THE TIOBE INDEX HAS IT AT #3. IT IS USED FOR A VARIETY OF
APPLICATIONS AND IT’S A VERY POPULAR LANGUAGE.

4. PYTHON APPLICATIONS

ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS
PYTHON IS EVERYWHERE. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN’T DO WITH IT.
LET’S TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT WHERE IT FINDS USE.

6. WHY LEARN PYTHON?
Python is the preferred language for Data Science and Machine
Learning.
They are the future and provide well-paying and stable jobs.
Python is fun.
Jobs in Python pays well and jobs will be stable in the future.
Yes, Python is easy to learn. But why should you learn it?
Let’s find out.

7. RUNNING PYTHON
.py – Python file
.pyc – Compiled bytecode
.pyd – Windows DLL file
.pyo – File created with optimizations
.pyw – Script for Windows
.pyz – Script archive
Python ships with an in-built interpreter (IDLE) that you can also use
as a calculator. You can use an IDE too like PyCharm or the Jupyter
Lab.
Python files may have different extensions:

9. SUMMARY
Let’s conclude this Python Tutorial with a quick revision.
We have discussed what is Python and how it came into
existence. Further, we also learned about its features and the
reasons behind why one should learn Python.
We have also explored how Python is implemented and how it
runs. I hope now you are clear with the basics of Python from
our article.
