During Christmas 1989, has received a master's degree in Mathematics and Computer from the University (University of Amsterdam) Amsterdam Guido van Rossum, in order to pass the boring Christmas, determined to develop a new language interpreter, ABC language as an inheritance.
Was chosen Python (python) as the name of the programming language, taken from the UK premiere of the 1970s TV comedy "Monty. Parsons's Flying Circus" (Monty Python's Flying Circus).
In 1991, the first official release of the Python interpreter. It is written in C language, you can call C library (.so file). Python and was already having a core data types: class (class), the function (function), a list (list), the dictionary (dict), and means (module).
Python design philosophy is "elegant", "clear", "simple", Guido will "Life is short, I used Python" (Love is short, use python) as Python's Slogan.
This is because many of the details on Python to hide the machine level, to the compiler processes, and highlights the level of programming logic thinking. This allows Python programmers to spend more time for logical thinking process, rather than specific implementation details.
For this reason, Python upset after many years, finally aid the rise of big data and artificial intelligence and fame, do not need to pay attention to the characteristics of the project so that the data programming / AI developers handy.
Python has now become one of the world's most popular languages, according to Jetbrains survey showed that 27% of respondents in the past year began and is continuing to learn Python.
More and more developers to use Python instead of data as a data processing MATLAB language, machine learning Python developers will almost preferred language. Flask with Django and Python inherits these two design philosophy, excellent Web framework, but also to occupy a place in the field of Web Python.
各大互联网企业也争相拥抱 Python，Google 不仅聘请过 Guido，还把 Python 作为 Google 第三大开发语言，YouTube 与 Instagram 则将 Python 作为主力技术栈，国内的豆瓣也是 Python 的忠实使用方。
不知 Guido 在 30 年前的那个圣诞，是否会想到写出了一个假期闲作，在 30 年后竟然成为一门雄霸一方的编程语言。
各位圣诞节快乐！
