The Python Programming Language
was developed Guido van Rossum in early 1991. The language is unique in a number of ways -
which include the features of the language and the programming "culture"
involved.
The Python Language is
multi-paradigm which allows the developer to use object oriented, procedural, functional,
etc programming depending on the problem at hand. In addition, the Python
"culture" attempts to keep the field "fun" which is evident from the
name of the language. It was named after the popular 1970's BBC show "Monty Python's
Flying Circus".
