Python

In plain words

A popular programming language that is easy to read and widely used for AI work.

The fuller definition

Python is a general-purpose programming language widely used for automation, data work, and machine learning.

How it fits together
  1. Script

    Instructions in code

  2. Interpreter

    Run the program

  3. Output

    Files or displayed results

A simplified relationship, not a screenshot or a complete design.

A concrete example

A short Python script lists filenames, reads CSV data, or calls an HTTP API.

The distinction that matters

A generated Python script still needs review and a suitable runtime; a code block does not execute itself.
