Interesting fact about the python language, while many people will naturally think of the snake, the developer that created the python language (Guido van Rossum) named the language after Monty Python. The language has been around since 1991 and is considered a high-level language. It is considered one of the easier languages to learn. Python will take many years to master, but is an easier language to learn because the syntax often mimics how we talk, obviously not all. We still have if statements, for and while loops, etc. but I found Python relatively easy to pick up the basics.
