Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages. Python 2.7.18, released in 2020, was the last release of Python 2. Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision not completely backward-compatible with earlier versions. Guido van Rossum began working on Python in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC programming language and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. It is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional programming. Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation via the off-side rule.
