Python is a powerful and versatile programming language that is widely used for web development, scientific computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. It is easy to learn, yet powerful enough to build complex applications.

This is the first story in a collection I am writing on the language, if you like them please give me a like and follow.

Quick History

Python was first released in 1991 by Guido van Rossum. Van Rossum had been working on the language during his Christmas break as a way to keep himself occupied, and he named the language after the British comedy group Monty Python.

The first version of Python, Python 0.9.0, was released in February 1991. This version of the language included basic features such as classes and exception handling.

In 1995, Python 1.0 was released, which included many new features such as lambda, map, filter, and reduce functions, as well as support for more data types such as lists and tuples.

Python 2.0 was released in 2000, and it included support for new features such as list comprehension, garbage collection, and Unicode support.
