Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language that is easy to learn and supports a wide variety of programming paradigms. It has a large standard library and is used for many types of applications. Python code is executed by an interpreter that translates Python code into bytecode that is run by the Python virtual machine. The most common way to run Python code is through Python scripts, but it can also be run interactively through the Python shell or within integrated development environments. Indentation through whitespace is significant in Python to denote code blocks rather than brackets or parentheses as in other languages.
