Get to know Python

Life is short, I use Python —— Life is short, you need Python

01. Origin of Python

Python was founded by Guido van Rossum

During Christmas in 1989, Guido Van Rossum decided to develop a new interpreter as a successor to the ABC language in order to pass the time in Amsterdam .
ABC is a teaching language designed by Guido. In Guido's opinion, ABC is a very beautiful and powerful language, which is specially designed for non-professional programmers . But the ABC language did not succeed, and the reason, Guido thinks, is caused by non-openness. Guido is determined to avoid this error in Python, and has achieved very good results
Python was chosen as the name of the program because he is a fan of the BBC TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus
In 1991, the first Python interpreter was born, which is implemented in C language and can call C language library files

Compiled language : Before the program is executed, a special compilation process is required to compile the program into a file in machine language. It does not need to be re-translated at runtime, and the compiled result can be used directly. The program execution efficiency is high, it depends on the compiler, and the cross-platform performance is poor. such as C, C++
Interpreted language : The program written in the interpreted language is not compiled in advance, the program code is stored in text, and the code is directly executed sentence by sentence. When publishing the program, it seems that the compilation process is saved, but when running the program, it must be interpreted before running

Speed - Compiled languages execute faster than interpreted languages
Cross-platform - Interpreted languages are more cross-platform than compiled languages

In 1999, Guido Van Rossum submitted a grant application to DARPA called "Computer Programming for Everybody" and later stated his goals for Python:

Fundamentals of these ideas have come true, and Python has become a popular programming language

The philosophy of Python developers is: one way, preferably only one way to do one thing
When faced with multiple choices, Python developers generally reject fancy syntax in favor of one that has no or little ambiguity

In the Python community, Guido is known as a "benevolent dictator"

Python is a fully object-oriented language
- Functions , modules , numbers , strings are all objects, in Python everything is an object
- Full support for inheritance, overloading, multiple inheritance
- Support overloaded operators, also supports generic design
Python has a powerful standard library . The core of the Python language only contains common types and functions such as numbers , strings , lists , dictionaries , and files . The Python standard library provides system management , network communication , text processing , database interfaces , graphics Additional features such as systems , XML processing , etc.
The Python community provides a large number of third-party modules that are used in a similar way to the standard library. Their functions cover scientific computing , artificial intelligence , machine learning , web development , database interfaces , and graphics systems .

Simple and easy to learn
Free and open source
object oriented
rich library
Scalability
- If you need a critical piece of code to run faster or if you want some algorithms to be private, you can use C or C++ write this part of the Python program and use them in the program
