Answer
A high-level, general-purpose programming language known for readable code, used for scripts, web backends, data and automation
Why
Python is a programming language: a way to give instructions to a computer using readable text.
It is called high-level because it hides low-level details such as memory management, and general-purpose because it is used for many things: automation scripts, web servers (FastAPI, Django), data analysis, testing.
The Python documentation describes it as interpreted, interactive and object-oriented.
Remember
Python = readable, general-purpose language.
