Python Introduction

Python is a widely used high-level, interpreted programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991 and further developed by the Python Software Foundation. It was designed with an emphasis on code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express their concepts in fewer lines of code. Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more efficiently. Python is used for:

Web Development: Frameworks like Django, Flask.

Django was designed to help developers take applications from concept to completion as quickly as possible.
