# Python Programming Introduction Summary
**What is Python?**
* Programming Language: Interpreted, Interactive, Object-Oriented.
* Uses Interpreter: Translates Python code line by line into machine code.
* OOP Concepts: Polymorphism, Inheritance, Encapsulation, Classes, Objects,
Abstraction.
* General Purpose Language: Used in Web applications, Mobile Applications, Data
Mining, Image Processing, Gaming, and more.
**History of Python:**
* Created by Guido van Rossum (Dutch Programmer).
* Started December 1989 (Holiday project).
* Inspiration from ABC Programming Language.
* Official Release: Version 0.9.0 in 1991.
**Why Learn Python?**
* Easy to Learn & Use: Simple Syntax.
* Developer-Friendly: Built-in libraries and functions.
* Large, Standard Library.
* Supports multiple programming paradigms (procedural, object-oriented, and
functional programming.)
**Key Features:**
* Dynamically Typed : Data type converted to automatic,
* Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Unix, and more
* Free and Open Source: No licensing fees.
* Extensible: Allows for modifying existing syntax and introducing new code.
**Google Search Tip:**
Enclose your query in double quotes ("...") for accurate results. Use
`filetype:pdf` (or other file extensions) after the search term to find specific
file types.
