We will be installing plugins or extensions which would make programming python for us much easier. Introduction to Python Python is a dynamically typed, General Purpose Programming Language that supports an object-oriented programming approach as well as a functional programming approach. Python is also an interpreted and high-level programming language. It was created by Guido Van Rossum in 1989. We need not worry about what is Object Oriented Programming or what is a high level language yet, we will be discussing that in future lessons.
