    🔸 What is Python?

    Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. It is designed to be easy to read, simple to write, and powerful enough for real-world applications.

    🧠 Python is often called the “Swiss Army Knife” of programming due to its versatility.

    🔸 Why Learn Python?

    Python is:

    • Beginner-friendly – its syntax is simple and resembles English

    • Versatile – used in web development, data science, AI/ML, automation, games, and more

    • In-demand – top tech companies like Google, Netflix, and Facebook use Python

    • Community-powered – huge open-source libraries and active global support

    🔸 Popular Uses of Python

    Field Example Use Case
    Web Development Django, Flask frameworks
    Data Science Pandas, N umPy, Matplotlib, SciPy
    AI / ML TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, PyTorch
    Automation/Scripting Task schedulers, data scraping
    Game Development Using libraries like Pygame

    🔸 Installing Python

    1. Visit the official Python website: https://python.org

    2. Click on Downloads and choose your operating system

    3. Run the installer and check the box “Add Python to PATH”

    4. Verify installation:

      • Open Command Prompt or Terminal

      • Type: python --version

    🔸 Installing an IDE (Optional but Recommended)

    Choose one of the following:

    Once installed, create a new file with .py extension and try:

    python
      
    print("Hello, Python!")

    📝 Assignment:

    • Install Python on your computer

    • Install an IDE like VS Code or PyCharm

    • Create a Python file and write your first print("Hello, Python!") code
