https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Python

The programming language Python was conceived in the late 1980s,[1] and its implementation was started in December 1989

In February 1991, Van Rossum published the code (labeled version 0.9.0) to alt.sources.

Python 2.0 was released on October 16, 2000, with many major new features, including a cycle-detecting garbage collector (in addition to reference counting) for memory management and support for Unicode. However, the most important change was to the development process itself, with a shift to a more transparent and community-backed process.[8]

Python 3.0, a major, backwards-incompatible release, was released on December 3, 2008[9] after a long period of testing. Many of its major features have also been backported to the backwards-compatible, though now-unsupported, Python 2.6 and 2.7.
