Introduction Python Intermediate Series – Subroutines; picks up where my Python Beginners Series left off. I assume that you are familiar with your IDE and that you are comfortable using: If you are uncomfortable with the above, parts of the intermediate series will not make sense.

Posts that have content about the Python programming language.
Python is a general-purpose programming language designed from the outset to have a simplified syntax. The more straightforward language style makes it closer to regular English and more accessible for beginners to understand.
Python is also cross-platform; interpreters are available for Windows, Mac, Linux, IOS and Android. This makes it one of the most universal languages around. Additionally, numerous websites allow users to code in Python straight into a web browser.
Many schools choose Python as the language to teach students for the reasons above. In addition, for many students, it is their first introduction to programming. While the language has many acknowledged pitfalls, it remains one of the most popular. It is also widely used among data scientists and AI creators.
Python has also been around for a long time; many libraries that do not exist in other languages have been written in Python. In addition, it is often simpler to create items in Python instead of writing the same library in another language.
Python was first developed in the 1980s by the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands. It took elements of many other languages, including C-based and scripting languages such as BASH.
It is far more scaleable than shell scripting languages but lacks certain programming protection features, such as accessors, in its OOP implementation.
Many GUI applications can be created with python on all operating systems. E.g. Windows MFC, Mac and the X window system of UNIX.
