Hi list,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have any sources on the history of the Python programming language, its uses in education, healthcare, and AI, and how it has shaped the way computing is done in these areas? A quick around my library of sources didn’t turn up any obvious starting
 points. Asking for a student :-) <br>
