Today, I would like to talk to you about what is Python software, many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following content for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

Python is not a software, Python is an interpretive, object-oriented, dynamic data type high-level programming language, which is mainly used for the development of Web website, desktop interface development, web crawler, artificial intelligence, automatic operation and maintenance, data analysis, machine learning and so on.

The development process of Python

Since the birth of Python language in the early 1990s, it has been widely used in system management task processing and Web programming.

The founder of Python is Dutch Guido Van Rosum (Guido van Rossum). During the Christmas season in 1989, in Amsterdam, Guido decided to develop a new script interpreter as an inheritance to the ABC language in order to get rid of the boredom of Christmas. Python (meaning boa constrictor) was chosen for the programming language after Monty, a British TV comedy premiered in the 1970s. Parsons' Flying Circus "(Monty Python's Flying Circus).

ABC is a teaching language designed by Guido. In Guido's own opinion, ABC is a beautiful and powerful language designed specifically for non-professional programmers. However, the ABC language is not successful, and Guido believes that it is caused by its non-open language. Guido is determined to avoid this mistake in Python. At the same time, he wants to achieve something that flashed but didn't happen in ABC.

In this way, Python was born in the hands of Guido. It can be said that Python developed from ABC and was mainly influenced by Modula-3, another rather beautiful and powerful language designed for small groups. And combine the habits of Unix shell and C.

Python has become one of the most popular programming languages. Since 2004, the use of python has increased linearly. Python 2 was released on October 16, 2000, and the stable version is Python 2.7. Python 3 was released on December 3, 2008 and is not fully compatible with Python 2. In January 2011, it was named language of the year in the TIOBE programming language rankings.

Because of the simplicity, readability and expansibility of Python language, more and more research institutions use Python to do scientific computing abroad, and some well-known universities have adopted Python to teach programming courses. For example, the fundamentals of programming at Carnegie Mellon University and the introduction to computer science and programming at MIT are taught in Python. Many open source scientific computing software packages provide the interface to call Python, such as the famous computer vision library OpenCV, 3D visualization library VTK, medical image processing library ITK. And the expansion of scientific computing dedicated to Python

There are more libraries, such as the following three classic scientific computing extension libraries: NumPy, SciPy and matplotlib, which provide fast array processing, numerical operations and drawing functions for Python, respectively. Therefore, the development environment composed of Python language and its numerous extended libraries is very suitable for engineering technology, researchers to deal with experimental data, make charts, and even develop scientific computing applications. In March 2018, the author of the language announced on the mailing list that support for Python 2.7 would be terminated on January 1, 2020. Users will need to pay commercial suppliers if they want to continue to receive support related to Python 2.7 after this date.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of what Python software is? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
