Description
Python is a powerful yet easy-to-use programming language developed by Guido van Rossum, first released in 1991. With Python, you can quickly write a small project. But Python also scales up nicely and can be used for mission-critical, commercial applications. If you check out any Python documentation, you may notice an alarming number of
references to spam, eggs, and the number 42. These references all pay homage to Monty Python, the English comedy troupe that inspired Python’s name. Even though Guido van Rossum named Python after the group, the official mascot of the language has become the python snake. (Which is really for the best, since it would be pretty hard to fit six British comedians’ faces on a program icon anyway.) There are a lot of programming languages out there. What’s so great about Python?
