== Disambiguation addition ==

So there are 2 articles. 1 is about a TLD and the 2nd one is a redirect to this article. I was wondering if I should redirect users to the [[PYC]] Disambiguation page. Please drop a opinion! [[User:Robloxguest3|Robloxguest3]] ([[User talk:Robloxguest3|talk]]) 00:45, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

:<small>I had reverted the addition of the hatnote since I didn't immediately think it was undue for the TLD ({{-r|.рус}}, which is actually made up of characters from {{slink|Cyrillic_script_in_Unicode#Basic_Cyrillic_alphabet}}).</small>

:I agree that it is/was difficult to get to the TLD articles since if a user types the latin ".pyc" you only see {{-r|.pyc}}, which is a redirect to this article. Just now the state was changed so that the latin .pyc has been retargeted to the TLD and the TLD has a hatnote added linking to the programming language.

Python is often considered one of the easiest programming languages to learn, making it accessible to people of all ages. Its simple, readable syntax emphasizes clarity, allowing beginners to quickly grasp fundamental programming concepts without being overwhelmed by complex rules. Even children can learn Python, thanks to its straightforward design and beginner-friendly resources. The language encourages an interactive learning experience, where users can immediately test and run code in a simple way, making it ideal for newcomers to programming.

Python's clean and consistent syntax reduces the learning curve, enabling new programmers to focus on solving problems rather than struggling with complicated syntax rules. This simplicity, combined with its powerful capabilities, makes Python an excellent choice for people who are just starting to learn coding.

Python's syntax is designed to be simple and easy to read, contributing to its popularity as an introductory programming language. Some key features of Python's syntax include:

* '''Print Function''': Python uses the <code>print()</code> function to output data to the console. Unlike many languages, Python does not require semicolons at the end of statements, making it more readable.

* '''Variable Assignment''': Python is dynamically typed, meaning variables are assigned values directly without the need to declare their type. The type is inferred based on the assigned value. Example: <code>name = "JadPythonWiki"</code>

* '''Indentation''': Python uses indentation, rather than braces <code>{}</code>, to define blocks of code. Indentation must be consistent to avoid errors, making Python code clean and readable.

* '''Input''': Python uses the <code>input()</code> function to receive user input. By default, the input is returned as a string, which can be converted to other types if necessary.

* '''Comments''': Python supports single-line comments, which begin with the <code>#</code> symbol. Comments are ignored by the interpreter and are used to document the code.

* '''Function Definition''': Functions in Python are defined using the <code>def</code> keyword, followed by the function name and parameters in parentheses. Python functions can return values using the <code>return</code> statement.

: Hi {{ping|MadHanSolo}}. Please feel free to add if you think that makes sense. However, keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a [[WP:NOTHOWTO|Howto]] or a set or tutorials so if the code examples become too large, they are likely to get deleted. --[[User:McSly|McSly]] ([[User talk:McSly|talk]]) 18:34, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:MadHanSolo|MadHanSolo]], I can work towards adding in a brief section of performance optimization taking into account the advice from @[[User:McSly|McSly]] about examples. I was briefly going to cover Just-In-Time Compilation, Static Compilation, Concurrency and Parallelism, and Efficient Data Structures.

== Problems ==

1, Why does the programing language template doesn't use an [https://www.python.org/community/logos/ offical logo] of Python, like it [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Python_(programming_language)&oldid=1299817513 did before]?

== "Batteries included" removed ==

Because in the first reference that was given the term "batteries" doesn't show up anymore, and the second reference is a long-withdrawn PEP. [[User:Jae|jae]] ([[User talk:Jae|talk]]) 12:20, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
