  Python   is an   interpreted   high-level   general-purpose programming language . Its design philosophy emphasizes   code readability   with its use of   significant indentation . Its   language constructs   as well as its   object-oriented   approach aim to help   programmers   write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects. [31] Python is  dynamically-typed  and  garbage-collected . It supports multiple  programming paradigms , including  structured  (particularly,  procedural ), object-oriented and  functional programming . It is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive  standard library . [32] Guido van Rossum  began working on Python in the late 1980s, as a successor to the  ABC programming language , and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. [33]  Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and introduced new features, such as  list comprehensions  and a  cycle-detecting  garbage collection system (in addition to  reference c

The primary sweet dish during the festival is  Modak  ( modak  in  Marathi  and Konkani,  modakam  or  kudumu  in  Telugu ,  modaka  or  kadubu  in  Kannada ,  kozhakatta  or  modakkam  in  Malayalam  and  kozhukattai  or  modagam  in  Tamil ). Although it is unknown when (or how) Ganesh Chaturthi was first observed,  the festival has been publicly celebrated in Pune since the era of  Shivaji  (1630–1680, founder of the  Maratha Empire ).  The  Peshwa  rulers in the 18th century were devotees of Ganesh a
