This document provides an overview of the Python programming language, including its history, features, applications, and how to get started with Python. It discusses that Python was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991 and is an easy to learn, interpreted, high-level programming language that supports object-oriented programming. The document also outlines where Python can be learned, popular Python IDEs like IDLE and PyCharm, and gives examples of using basic Python constructs and Tkinter for GUI applications.

3. Python is a general purpose, dynamic, high-level, and
interpreted programming language.
It supports OOP approach to develop applications.
It is simple and easy to learn and versatile scripting
language, which makes it attractive for Application
Development.

5.  Python was invented by Guido van Rossum, and
first released on February 20, 1991
 In 1991 he was at CWI (Centrum Wiskunde &
Informatica) in Netherland. The idea of Python
programming language has taken from the ABC
programming language or we can say that ABC
is a predecessor of Python language.
 There is also a fact behind the choosing name
Python. Guido van Rossum was a fan of the
popular BBC comedy show of that time, "Monty
Python's Flying Circus". So he decided to pick
the name Python for his newly created
programming language.

25. Unlike the other programming languages, Python provides the facility to execute the code using few lines. For
example - Suppose we want to print the "Hello World" program in Java; it will take three lines to print it.
public class HelloWorld
{
public static void main(String[ ] args)
{ // Prints "Hello, World" to the terminal window.
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
On the other hand, we can do this using one statement in Python.
print("Hello World")
Both programs will print the same result, but it takes only one statement without using a semicolon or curly braces
in Python.
