Python is a general-purpose programming language created by Guido van Rossum in 1991. It is dynamically typed and garbage collected, with code readability emphasized through significant whitespace. Python supports multiple programming paradigms including structured, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python 2.0 introduced features like list comprehensions and reference counting garbage collection, while Python 3.0 introduced backwards incompatible changes. Popular websites to learn Python include python.org, programiz.com, and w3schools.com. Common IDEs used for Python include Spyder, PyCharm, and Visual Studio Code, while Codecademy and DataCamp offer in-browser coding.

7. History of Python
 Python is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language.
 Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991
 Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability
with its notable use of significant whitespace.
 Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers
write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.
 Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected.
 It supports multiple programming paradigms,
 including structured (particularly, procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming.
 Python is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.

8.  Python was created in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC language.
 Python 2.0, released in 2000, introduced features like list comprehensions and a garbage collection
system with reference counting.
 Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision of the language that is not completely backward-
compatible, and much Python 2 code does not run unmodified on Python 3.
 The Python 2 language was officially discontinued in 2020 (first planned for 2015),
 "Python 2.7.18 is the last Python 2.7 release and therefore the last Python 2 release.
 No more security patches or other improvements will be released for it.[31][32] With Python 2's end-of-
life, only Python 3.5.x and later are supported.
