What's this "Python" process running in the background? 100% CPU, Fans Full Speed

Hello! I've recently been noticing my MacBook overheats very often because a process called "Python", it just started a day ago. Every 15 minutes or so, this process starts out of nowhere using 100% of my CPU, and overheating my mac alot, to the point that it shuts down for security sometimes. I've installed python 4 months ago if that changes anything. When I kill the Python Process in Activity Monitor, its gone for 15 minutes, until it starts but with double Python processes? I've just started experimenting with python if that changes anything. Thanks!
