Python Programming Language originated in the early 1980s. The language is a computer-processing language. It is mainly a text-based language and has minimum usage for visual-based graphics. Python has the capability of communicating with other computer languages such as HTML. Most other computer languages have limited communication capabilities but Python communicates almost effortlessly. 

Most Python files end in the .py file extension. Files are interpreted with a Python interpreter which is natively installed on all Mac computers and Linux machines. Windows machines on the other hand must have the Python interpreter installed to run Python scripts. Python unlike most other computer languages does not have special header and footer tags. Python not only runs code, line by line from the top down like most other languages, but it is capable of doing the decision-making processes and jumping to different parts of the code as needed. HTML, CSS, and PHP  computer languages, to some extent, can jump from certain variables to other variables but Python has no limitation.

Determining what Python can do is entirely up to the person writing the code. It can be made to do many different operations from processing text to sorting items out, from a list to reading and writing files automatically. Python follows a coding structure similar to the English language. The main purpose behind this coding structure was to create a computer language allowing a person with limited coding skills to learn and understand without too much instruction. The code structure assists when programmers want to change and modify the language itself, creating different modules for the language. Python program language having thousands of prebuilt modules along with online modules makes the program an ideal working environment for programmers trying to write code quickly. Not having to spend weeks or months trying to build a program entirely from scratch, the prebuilt code already available within the language helps to greatly speed up the writing process. For example, if someone wants to write a segment code, counting the days until a certain date, there are prebuilt modules for telling the Python council to import the current date with only a few words of code. Doing this allows for a fast-developing environment for text-based programming.
