Python (name being a reference to Monty Python) is an exceptionally [bloated](bloat.md), extremely popular [high level](abstraction.md) [interpreted](interpreter.md) [programming language](programming_language.md). Its priority is readability and making it easy and fast to bash together some code for anyone with at least one brain hemisphere, so it is eminently popular among beginners, children, [women](woman.md), non-programmers such as scientists and unqualified [soydevs](soydev.md) who can't handle real languages like [C](c.md). Python [just werks](just_werks.md) and is comfortable, but any program written in it is doomed to be bloated, slow, ugly, big and will unavoidably die without [maintenance](maintenance.md) for Python's updates purposefully break [backwards compatibility](backwards_compatibility.md). At this moment it is the language most frequently used for programming "neural net [AI](ai.md)s".

**Python is extremely slow**, even much slower than [JavaScript](javascript.md) and [PHP](php.md) (according to *Computer Language Benchmarks Game*). If you want to make your python programs faster, use the *PyPy* implementation over the default *CPython*.

Python was conceived in 1991 by a Dutchman Guido van Rossum who announced it on [Usenet](usenet.md). Version 1.0 was released in 1994 and version 2.0 in 2000. A very important version was 2.7 released in 2010 -- this was used and supported for a long time but the support was ended in 2020 in favor of Python 3. As of writing this the latest version is 3.9.

**Can [we](lrs.md) use python?** There are certain use cases for it, mostly writing [throwaway scripts](throwaway_script.md) and other quick, temporary code. Python can easily help you get into programming as well, so it may well serve as an educational language, however be sure to transition to a better language later on. Remember, **python mustn't ever be used for a serious program**.
