Python is an interpreted multi-purpose language created by Van Rossum in the late 1980's. Van Rossum was a Dutch programmer who worked at the National Research Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands. He started working on the Python programming language as a hobby and fun project to help him with his work on the ABC language, which was used to teach programming to peoples.

In his statement about the creation of Python, Van Rossum said: "I was looking for a 'hobby' programming project to keep me busy around Christmas. My office ... would be closed, but I had a home computer and not much else on hand. I decided to write an interpreter for a new scripting language that I had recently thought: For an ABC scion who appeals to Unix/C hackers I chose Python as the project's working name , being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus)[1].

My first version of Python was released on February 20, 1991, and since then it has become one of the most popular programming languages ​​in the world. The ease of use and readability of the code are the main reasons why Python has gained succes in the programming industry. It is often referred to as a "batteries included" language, meaning that it has many built-in libraries and modules which allow developers to build complex applications without having to write everything from scratch.

Python is used in many different types of programns such as games, web development, data analysis, machine learning etc. It has a very large and active user community that participates in the development of the language and its libraries. This makes Python a very versatile and dynamic programming language that is well suited for a wide variety of tasks.

In short, Guido van Rossum created Python in the late 1980s as a hobby project to help him with his work on the ABC language. The first version of Python was released on February 20, 1991, and since then it has become one of the most popular programming languages ​​in the world. The ease of use and readability of the code are the main reasons why Python is widely used in the programming industry, and its versatility and dynamic nature make it well suited for a wide variety of tasks.
