       History Of Python Programming Language

Before starting with the actual concepts of python programming language lets take a quick review about history and origin of python programming language.

We all know that python is one of the most demanding programming language in the world today . Python was conceived in 1980's. Python was developed by Guido van Rossum and was first released in the year of 1991 . According to the developer of python Guido van Rossum the motive behind development of Python programming language was  

".... In December 1989, I was looking for a 'hobby' programming project that would keep me occupied during the week around Christmas. My office ... would be closed, but I had a home computer, and not much else on my hands. I decided to write an interpreter for the new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a descendant of ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers. I chose Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus)." 

Here are the list of a few python interpreter/compiler

1. IDLE

3. Spyder

4. Sublime

5 VS Code
