What is Python?
Python is a programming language. It’s used for many different applications.
It’s used in some high schools and colleges as an introductory programming
language because Python is easy to learn, but it’s also used by professional
software developers at places such as Google, NASA, and Lucasfilm Ltd.

Python.
Can I delete Python?
That depends on where Python came from.
If someone installed it deliberately, you can remove it without hurting
anything. On Windows, use the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel.
If Python was installed by a third-party application, you can also remove it,
but that application will no longer work. You should use that application’s
uninstaller rather than removing Python directly.
If Python came with your operating system, removing it is not recommended. If
you remove it, whatever tools were written in Python will no longer run, and
some of them might be important to you. Reinstalling the whole system would
then be required to fix things again.
