Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!
Monty Python’s Flying Circus aired in 1969, and it managed to capture the hearts, minds, and kidneys of millions with its surreal comedy and “observational sketches”.
Twenty-two years later, a brilliant young man by the name of Guido van Rossum created Python — a high-level programming language. Much like the show itself, Python is explicit, complex, simple, and beautiful. Python is an object-oriented programming language , and it supports functional programming (including the map(), reduce(), filter() functions). The most important aspect of Python is that it’s intended to be fun! It’s easy to read, and easy to learn since it has extensive documentation. It also takes after its predecessor, by providing tutorials with “spam and eggs” rather than the conventional “foo and bar”.
