What is python?
 Python is a general purpose programming language
that is often applied in scripting roles. So, python is a
programming language as well as a scripting
language.
Python is also called as Interpreted language.
The language places strong emphasis on code
reliability and simplicity so that the programmer can
develop applications rapidly.
Python is multi-paradigm programming language,
which allow user to code in several different
programming styles.
Python supports cross platform development and is
available through open source.
Python is widely used for scripting in Game menu
applications effectively.
History of Python
Invented in the Netherlands, early 90s by Guido Van
Rossum
Python was conceived in the late 1980s and its
implementation was started in December 1989
Guido Van Rossum is fan of ‘Monty Python’s Flying
Circuis’ this is a famous TV show in Netherlands
Named after Monty Python
Open sourced from the beginning
Python’s Benevolent Dictator For Life
“ Python is an experiment in
how much freedom
programmers need. Too
much freedom and nobody
can read another’s code;
too little and
expressiveness is
endangered.”
-Guido Van Rossum
Advantages of Python
Most programs on python require considerably less
number of lines of code to perform the same task
compare to another language like C. So less
programming errors and reduces the development
time needed also.
Though Perl is a powerful language, it is highly
syntax oriented. Similarly C also.
What can I do with python?
System programming
Graphical user interface programming
Internet scripting
Component integration
Database programming
Gaming, images, XML, Robot and more.
Why do people use python?
The following primary factors cited by python users seem
to be these:
Python is object-oriented
Structure supports such concepts as polymorphism
operation overloading & multiple inheritance
Its free (Open source)
Downloading and installing python is free and easy
source code is easily accessible.
It’s powerful
 Dynamic typing
 Build-in types & tools
 library utility
 Third party utility (e.g. Numeric, NumPy, SciPy)
 Automatic memory management
 It’s portable
 Python runs virtually every major platform used today
 As long as you have a compatible python interpreter
installed, python programmes will run in exactly the same
manner, irrespective of platform.
Installing Python IDE
 Python is pre-installed on most Unix systems,
including Linux and MAC OS X
 But for in Windows operating systems , user can
download from the
http://www.python.org/downloads/
- From the above link download the latest version of
python IDE and install, recent version is 3.4.1 but
most of them uses version 2.7.7 only
Running Python
Once you are inside the Python interpreter,
type in commands at will.
 Examples:
>>> print ‘Hello world’
Hello world
