Python Notes:

The most recent major version of Python is Python 3; however, Python 2 is still in use and quite popular, although not being updated with anything other than security updates
Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses
Python relies on indentation, using whitespace to define scope, such as the scope of loops, functions, and classes; other programming languages often use curly-brackets for this purpose
Python string methods return new values, and DO NOT change the original string
Python tuples are unchangeable after created (their items CANNOT be changed or re-ordered at a later point)
Python sets are unordered (may appear in random orders when called), unchangeable (the value of individual items cannot be changed after creation), and unindexed (items cannot be referred to by index or key)
