Python is a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object-oriented scripting language, and it is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Python is designed to be highly readable and it can be used to build just about anything. It is using English keywords instead of punctuation and it also has fewer syntactical constructions than other programming languages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Python allows programmers to use different programming styles for creating their programs, get quicker results and write code almost as if speaking in a human language. Some of the most popular systems and applications in the world that have employed Python during development include Google Search, YouTube, Google App Engine, Maya, and many more. Installing\u00a0Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 is an easy task, just follow the steps in this tutorial carefully, and you should have Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 installed in few minutes.
