The Python language

Software Engineer Guido van Rossum founded what would come to be known as the Python programming language in the late 1980s. Spawned from a project he was working on to develop an interpreter for a scripting language, he chose the working title Python derived from the popular British comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.

The official Python website can be found at https://www.python.org/.

Unlike the C language, Python is an interpreted language. This in essence means that the language's instructions are performed by an interpreter rather than compiled down to machine code.

You can read more about interpreted languages here https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Programming_Languages/Interpreted_Programs.

The most widely used implementation of the Python language is known as CPython, which is written in C. This is also the implementation you will be using on the Raspbian operating system.

You can read more about this implementation at https://docs.python.org/2...
