Main uses
The main purpose of Python is the development of different web applications, graphic user-based applications, and software development applications, network programming applications, development of games and 3D applications, and development of scientific and numeric applications.
In addition to that, Python provides support to several programming paradigms. This includes dynamic systems and automatic memory management. Python programming language is also used in the creation of a large and robust standard library.

History of python
Python was conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language (itself inspired by SETL), capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system. Its implementation began in December 1989.
