Python is a popular programming language used to tell computers what to do, using simple, readable instructions that feel close to everyday English. It was created in 1989 by Guido van Rossum, who named it after the British comedy show Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The name reflects the language’s philosophy: fun, clear, and approachable.
Python is used almost everywhere today. It powers websites, automates repetitive office tasks, analyzes large datasets, runs artificial intelligence systems, and even controls scientific experiments. Companies like Google, Netflix, and Instagram rely on Python for backend systems, data analysis, and machine learning. In everyday life, Python helps recommend movies, detect spam emails, forecast weather, and manage traffic patterns.
