Python was conceived in the late 1980s[41] 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,[42] capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating
system.[12] Its implementation began in December 1989.[43] Van Rossum shouldered sole responsibility for the project, as the lead developer,
until 12 July 2018, when he announced his "permanent vacation" from his responsibilities as Python's "benevolent dictator for life" (BDFL), a title
the Python community bestowed upon him to reflect his long-term commitment as the project's chief decision-maker[44] (he has since come
out of retirement and is self-titled "BDFL-emeritus"). In January 2019, active Python core developers elected a five-member Steering Council to
lead the project.[45][46]

Python 2.0 was released on 16 October 2000, with many major new features such as list comprehensions, cycle-detecting garbage
collection, reference counting, and Unicode support.[47] Python 2.7's end-of-life was initially set for 2015, then postponed to 2020 out of
concern that a large body of existing code could not easily be forward-ported to Python 3.[48][49] No further security patches or other
improvements will be released for it.[50][51] While Python 2.7 and older versions are officially unsupported, a different unofficial Python
implementation, PyPy, continues to support Python 2, i.e. "2.7.18+" (plus 3.10), with the plus meaning (at least some) "backported security
updates".[52]

Python 3.0 was released on 3 December 2008, with some new semantics and changed syntax. At least every Python release since (now
unsupported) 3.5 has added some syntax to the language, and a few later releases have dropped outdated modules, or changed semantics, at
least in a minor way.

Since 7 October 2024, Python 3.13 is the latest stable release, and it and, for few more months, 3.12 are the only releases with active support
including for bugfixes (as opposed to just for security) and Python 3.9,[53] is the oldest supported version of Python (albeit in the 'security
support' phase), due to Python 3.8 reaching end-of-life.[54][55] Starting with 3.13, it and later versions have 2 years of full support (up from one
and a half), followed by 3 years of security support (for same total support as before).

Security updates were expedited in 2021 (and again twice in 2022, and more fixed in 2023 and in September 2024 for Python 3.12.6 down to
3.8.20), since all Python versions were insecure (including 2.7[56]) because of security issues leading to possible remote code
execution[57] and web-cache poisoning.[58]
