Python 2 (Legacy Python)
Python 2 refers to the second major version of the Python programming language. It was widely used for many years but has been officially retired as of January 1, 2020, meaning it no longer receives updates or security patches.

Key Features of Python 2:
Print Statement: print was used as a statement instead of a function (e.g., print "Hello" instead of print("Hello")).
Integer Division: Dividing integers resulted in an integer (e.g., 5/2 would return 2 instead of 2.5).
Legacy Libraries: Many old libraries were only compatible with Python 2.
Why It Was Deprecated:
Python 3 was introduced in 2008 to address inconsistencies and modernize the language. It wasn't backward-compatible, so developers had to migrate their codebases. With Python 2's retirement, all new development focuses on Python 3.
