Understanding Python 3

Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum and was started as a personal hobby project but has since grown into what it is today. The following is a timeline of the major milestones in the development of the Python programming language:

Figure 3.1 – Timeline of Python development milestones

Guido van Rossum held the title of benevolent dictator for life for the Python project for most of its life cycle. He stepped down from the role in July 2018 and has been part of the Python Steering Council ever since.

The Python programming language has two major versions—Python 2 and Python 3. They are mostly incompatible with one another. As the preceding timeline shows, Python 2's sunset happened on 31st December 2019. This means that there is no further development of Python 2. Official...
