You can watch the below video by its own creator for a breakdown of the History of Python
Python was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991. At the time, van Rossum was working on the Amoeba distributed operating system at the CWI (Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica) in the Netherlands. He wanted to create a scripting language that was easy to use and extensible, and that could be used for many different purposes. He named the language Python after the British comedy troupe Monty Python. Python was initially released in 1991, and it has undergone many changes and improvements since then. In the early years, Python was mainly used for simple scripting tasks and for creating small programs. However, as the language grew in popularity, its capabilities were expanded and it was used for more and more complex tasks. In 2000, Python 2.0 was released, which included many new features and improvements, such as support for Unicode and a new garbage collection system. In 2008, Python 3.0 was released, which was a major redesign of the language that introduced many new features and improvements, such as improved support for Unicode and a new syntax for defining classes. Since then, Python has continued to evolve and grow in popularity. It is now used in many different fields, from web development to data science to game development, and it has a large and active community of users and developers. Many popular libraries and frameworks have been developed for Python, and it is considered one of the most versatile and powerful programming languages in the world.
