Basics

Python is a general-purpose language. It has wide range of applications from Web development , scientific and mathematical computing to desktop graphical user Interfaces.

Python is a powerful high-level, object-oriented programming language created by Guido van Rossum.

The syntax of the language is clean and length of the code is relatively short. It's fun to work in Python because it allows you to think about the problem rather than focusing on the syntax.
