# Python

The word «python» refers to a family of large nonvenomous snakes, as well as a computer programming language.

Python, the programming language, is a general purpose high-level interpreted language that's relatively easy to learn, friendly to beginners, while also staying a powerful language popular among professionals.

Python was created by a Dutch programmer Guido van Rossum, circa 1989, as a successor to the language ABC, and is named after Monty Python, a famous British comedy group.

An example of a Python program is:

N = 3
p = [chr(ord('a') + i) for i in range(N)]

def printPermutations(n):
  if n < N - 1:
    for i in range(n,N):
      p[n], p[i] = p[i], p[n] # swap
      printPermutations(n + 1)
      p[n], p[i] = p[i], p[n] # swap back
  else:
    print("".join(p))
    
printPermutations(0)

While Hello World! in Python would look something like this:

print("Hello, World!")
