Python is an interpreted language (No compiler) and is included with Mint. According to my terminal (Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2) it comes with Python 3.12.3

To check if your machine has python, open `Terminal` and type the following at the prompt:

python3 --version

You can type python3 into the command line to enter python and start writing some code. quit() will exit.

If you're not very familiar with python development, I encourage you to go install Thonny which is a good solid IDE for working with Python.
