In this article, we will install the latest version of Python3 on our Ubuntu system and then set up a virtual programming environment where you can write and execute your Python application programs. So as Linux users, you need to get a hold of how to install it and start writing your Python applications. Python just seems to be getting more and more popular with Linux developers and is arguably the best general-purpose language currently available. This increases the productivity for programmers as the edit-test-debug cycle becomes pretty fast. Programmers often prefer Python over other languages as in Python there is no separate compilation step. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and can be freely distributed. It encourages program modularity and thus code reuse by supporting modules and packages based programming concept. It reduces the cost of program maintenance with its easy to learn syntax and high user readability.

Python is an object-oriented, interpreted, high-level programming language created by Guido van Rossum and was first released in 1991.
