Python is a powerful, high-level programming language known for its readability, simplicity, and versatility. It supports multiple programming paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and functional styles. CPython, the reference implementation, is developed and maintained by the Python Software Foundation and the global open-source community. The language includes a vast standard library that accelerates development by providing built-in modules for file handling, networking, data manipulation, and more. Python runs seamlessly across platforms such as Linux, macOS, and Windows, making it ideal for both development and production environments. With constant updates, optimizations, and an active community, Python continues to be one of the most widely adopted languages worldwide.
