This study explores the pivotal role of the English language in adapting the
Python programming language to the Uzbek context, particularly in education,
research, and software development. Drawing on international practices and
comparative analysis, the paper highlights how English serves not only as a medium
of instruction but also as a cultural and technological bridge for effective coding
education. The study argues that without English language proficiency, full
utilization of Python’s ecosystem, including libraries, documentation, and community
support, remains limited.
