It was mainly developed for emphasis on code readability, and its syntax (set of rules that govern the structure of a code) allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code.

Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more efficiently.

data types: Int(integer), float(decimal), Boolean(True or False), string, and list; variables, expressions, statements, precedence of operators, comments; modules, functions-- - function and its use, flow of execution, parameters and arguments.

Jython

PyPy

IronPython

MicroPython

IDEs

Many other programmers also use IDEs(Integrated Development Environment) which are softwares that provide an extensive set of tools and features to support software development.

Examples of IDEs
