Python 2

Python, named after Monty Python, was created by Guido Van Rossum in the late 1980s with the aim of being simple and powerful. It offers advantages such as ease of learning, improved productivity, and extensive libraries, but has disadvantages including low speed and inefficient memory use. Despite its limitations, Python remains a popular choice for many programming tasks due to its versatility and open-source nature.
