Python was created by Guido Van Rossum in the early 90s. It is now one of the most popular
languages in existence. I fell in love with Python for its syntactic clarity. It's basically

Note: This article applies to Python 2.7 specifically, but should be applicable
to Python 2.x. Python 2.7 is reaching end of life and will stop being maintained in 2020,
it is though recommended to start learning Python with Python 3.
For Python 3.x, take a look at the [Python 3 tutorial](http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python3/).

It is also possible to write Python code which is compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.x at the same time,
using Python [`__future__` imports](https://docs.python.org/2/library/__future__.html). `__future__` imports
allow you to write Python 3 code that will run on Python 2, so check out the Python 3 tutorial.
