![]() | Python (programming language) was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||||||||||

A 2007 listing of a still in-use programming language; no surprise that huge amounts of material is unsourced, violating GA criterion 2. I also feel that too much detail is being paid to the syntax of the language, possibly violating criterion 3b). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 12:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Update latest beta release version - Python 3.12 0rc1 has been released (2023-08-06) 86.130.253.139 ( talk) 14:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
It would be good to know on what platforms and version Python can run on in a table, eg Windows, macOS, linux, iOS, Android, ... The table would probably need an explanation of any specific tools needed (frameworks, compilers). Also whether packaged packaged apps can be built that can be distributed (eg app store) to users without users requiring anything else to be installed.
An explanation of how features unique to each platform can be accessed would be useful. FreeFlow99 ( talk) 16:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
This page should mention that programming languages like Python that are not compiled into native executable code (e.g., they are interpreted or compiled into byte code that is run in a virtual machine) require more processor cycles for the same results compared to native executables. Therefore they use more power to execute, and they contribute more to climate change. Given the ubiquity of Python, a vast amount of power is wasted on interpretation or byte-code execution. 209.145.84.194 ( talk) 20:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Python is named so, because the (long) code of the language looks like a snake/python. 49.37.96.186 ( talk) 15:06, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
