Pythonis a high-level, interactive and object-oriented programming language.Its simple syntax makes it easy to learn and fast to work with, so it'sa great choice for a first programming language.

No tutorial is good for everyone. This one is aimed at people with noprogramming experience at all or very little programming experience. Ifyou have programmed a lot in the past using some other language youprobably want to readthe official tutorial instead.

This tutorial uses Python 3. Python 2 is getting outdated all the time,and more and more projects are moving to Python 3. There are a fewpopular libraries that don't support Python 3 that well at the time ofwriting this, but you don't need to worry about that just yet. Theywill probably support Python 3 by the time you've learned the basicsand you may actually need them.
