Introduction to Python and Libraries

Python language overview and its popularity

Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose
programming language that was created by Guido van
Rossum and first released in 1991. Since then, Python has
become one of the most popular and versatile programming
languages ​in the world. Its clear syntax and readability
make it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced

programmers to write less code to accomplish common
tasks. This reduces the learning curve and allows developers
to focus on solving problems rather than worrying about the
complexity of the language.
Furthermore, Python has an active and vibrant
community. The Python community contributes a vast
amount of resources, including libraries, frameworks,
tutorials, and documentation. These contributions make
Python an attractive choice for developers who want to
learn new skills and improve their capabilities.
