What is Python?

Python is one of the most popular computer programming languages of our time and one of the most sought after skills for Software Engineering jobs. Created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, it was designed to be very easy for us humans to understand.

It's most popular uses are to create the engine which drives a website (also called the ‘back end’), and for analyzing and showing information (data analysis and presentation). Other popular uses are machine learning (artificial intelligence), education, and processing of images.
