Other Information

Python is a multi-paradigm programming language, that is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. Many of the capabilities that the Python language supports are object-oriented programming and functional programming. This language follows a philosophy, which consists of phrases such as:

• "Beautiful is better than ugly"
• "Simple is better than Complex"
• "Readability counts"
• "Explicit is better than implicit"
• "Complex is better than complicated"

See Zen of Python for more information about this philosophy.

Python aims for simplicity and a less-cluttered syntax, while allowing developers to have options for their preferred coding method. Python has many versions out for developers to use. This consists of Python 2 (now on Sunset Status) and Python 3.9 (October 2020).
