Python, a general-purpose, high-level programming language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, functional, procedural, and reflective programming paradigms, conceived and implemented by Guido van Rossum in the late 80s. Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large standard library. While used as scripting language along with a Python interpreter available for many operating systems, Python code can be packaged into standalone executable programs.
