Explore the fascinating history of the Python programming language, from its inception in the late 1980s to becoming one of the most popular and versatile programming languages today.

Python creator Guido van Rossum reveals the strengths and weaknesses of one of the world's most popular programming languages.

“Python is a high-level programming language, easy for beginners and advanced users to get started with,” said Jory Schwach, who is the CEO of Andium.com. “It’s forgiving in its usage ...

Not necessarily for the data-science and machine-learning communities built around Python extensions like NumPy and SciPy, but as a general programming language.

Python, the number one programming language in the TIOBE Programming Language Community Index in August, has further solidified its place at the top.

Only twice in TIOBE Programming Index history has a language commanded such a high percentage of developers’ interest.

Python saw a whopping increase of 9.3% in the Tiobe popularity index during 2024, despite already being rated the most popular programming language.

Starting out as a mature Python, it has become the most popular programming language today due to its ease of learning, vast library, and widespread use in all areas.

Despite a rocky transition from Python 2 to Python 3, developers are still flocking to the programming language.
