 What is Python? Python refers to the Python programming language (with syntax rules for writing what is considered valid Python code) and the Python interpreter software that reads source code (written in the Python language) and performs its instructions.

The name Python comes from the surreal British comedy group Monty Python, not from the snake.

(Boolean is capitalized because the data type is named after mathematician George Boole.) When typed as Python code, the Boolean values True and False lack the quotes you place around strings, and they always start with a capital T or F, with the rest of the word in lowercase. Enter the following into the interactive shell. (Some of these instructions are intentionally incorrect, and they’ll cause error messages to appear). >>> spam = True  >>> spam  True  >>> true  Traceback (most recent call last):  File " ", line 1, in true   NameError: name 'true' is not defined w  >>> True = 2 + 2  SyntaxError: assignment to keyword Comparison Operators  Comparison operators compare two values and evaluate down to a single Boolean value.  ==  Equal to  !=
