Python is a multi-utility high-level language (programming as well as a scripting language) first introduced in the year 1991 designed by ‘Guido Van Rossum’, and was named after ‘Monty Python’ which was a very famous British Comedy group of their time. Python emphasizes code readability as it supports simple English language and follows the offside rule which means each block’s function depends on the indentation of that functional block. It supports various programming paradigms like object-oriented programming, procedural programming, functional programming, etc. Python consists of a very comprehensively large library and has a very large range of interpreters which makes it functional in almost every operating system. Among the various implementations of this language, the most commonly used version is ‘CPython’ which is an open source software and has a community-based development model and is monitored by ‘Python Software Foundation’. It is used in GIS programming not only this but this language supports chips at ‘Intel’ but also powers a powerful social media ‘Instagram’ and even development of games using ‘PyGame’ library.
