Detailed explanation-1: -Python was conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC programming language, which was inspired by SETL, capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system. Its implementation began in December 1989.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the winter of 1989, Van Rossum began programming Python as a hobby to keep him occupied during the holidays. According to Van Rossum, he wanted to write a programming language that was accessible to everyone.
