What is Python?

Python, an open-source, general-purpose, high-level, and object-oriented programming language, was gifted to the world by the maestro Guido van Rossum. It's not just a language; it's a vibrant ecosystem teeming with vast libraries and powerful frameworks like Django, TensorFlow, Flask, Pandas, Keras, and more.

How to Install Python?

Regardless of your operating system—be it Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu, CentOS—Python graciously finds its place. Here's a quick guide:
