 Introduction to Python
Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic

programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its

syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be

possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended

to enable clear

programs on both a small and large scale.

Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and

functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and

automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive standard library.

Python interpreters are available for installation on many operating systems, allowing

Python code execution on a wide variety of systems.

Scripting Language
A scripting or script language is a programming language that supports scripts,
programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of
tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator.

Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are
usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be
combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through
scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of
operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games.

pg. 4
Object Oriented Programming Language

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the

concept of "objects", which may contain data, in the form of fields, often known as

attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods. A

distinguishing feature of objects is that an object's procedures can access and often

modify the data fields of the object with

which they are associated (objects have a notion of "this" or "self").

In OO programming, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects

that interact with one another. There is significant diversity in object-oriented
programming, but most popular languages are class-based, meaning that objects are
instances of classes, which typically also determines their type.

History
Python was conceived in the late 1980s, and its implementation was started in December
1989 by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC

language (itself inspired by SETL) capable of exception handling and interfacing

with the Amoeba operating system. Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and

his continuing central role in deciding the direction of Python is reflected in the

title given to him by the Python community, benevolent dictator for life (BDFL).

“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

DOWNLOADING PYTHON
If you don’t already have a copy of Python installed on your computer, you will need to open
up your Internet browser and go to the Python download page
(http://www.python.org/download/).

Now that you are on the download page, select which of the software builds you
would like to download. For the purposes of this article, we will use the most up to
date version available (Python 3.4.1).

Once you have clicked on that, you will be taken to a page with a description of all the

new updates and features of 3.4.1, however, you can always read that while the

download is in process. Scroll to the bottom of the page till you find the “Download”

section and click on the

link that says “download page.”

pg. 6
Now you will scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and find the “Windows

x86 MSI installer.” If you want to download the 86-64 bit MSI, feel free to do so. We

believe that even if you have a 64-bit operating system installed on your computer,

the 86-bit MSI is preferable. We say this because it will still run well and

sometimes, with the 64- bit architectures, some of the compiled binaries and

Python libraries don’t work well.

pg. 7
Installing python
Once you have downloaded the Python MSI, simply navigate to the download location on
your computer, double clicking the file and pressing Run when the dialog box pops up.

If you are the only person who uses your computer, simply leave the “Install for all users”

option selected. If you have multiple accounts on your PC and don’t want to

install it across all accounts, select the “Install just for me” option then press “Next.”

if you want to change the install location, feel free to do so; however, it is best to leave it
as is and simply select next, otherwise... Now that you have completed the installation
process, click on “Finish.

pg. 8
Setup the variable path
Begin by opening the start menu and typing in “environment” and select the option called

“Edit the system environment variables.”

When the “System Properties” window appears, click on “Environment Variables…”

Once you have the “Environment Variables” window open, direct your focus to the

bottom half. You will notice that it controls all the “System Variables” rather than

just this associated with your user. Click on “New…” to create a new variable for

Python.

Simply enter a name for your Path and the code shown below. For the purposes

of this example, we have installed Python 2.7.3, so we will call the path: “Python

path.” The string that you will need to enter is:

“C:\Python27\; C:\Python27\Scripts;”

pg. 9
Running the Python IDE
Now that we have successfully completed the installation process and added our

“Environment Variable,” you are ready to create your first basic Python script. Let’s begin

by opening Python’s GUI by pressing “Start” and typing “Python” and selecting

the “IDLE (Python GUI).”

Once the GUI is open, we will begin by using the simplest directive possible. This is the

“print” directive which simply prints whatever you tell it to, into a new line. Start by

typing a print directive like the one shown in the image below or copy and paste

this text then

“Enter”: print (“Congratulations on executing your first print directive!”)

pg. 10
Python code execution
Python’s traditional runtime execution model: source code you type is translated to
byte code, which is then run by the Python Virtual Machine. Your code is
automatically compiled,

but then it is interpreted.

Source code extension is .py

Byte code extension is .pyc (compiled python code)

pg. 11
 Data Type
(this is called dynamic typing). Data types determine whether an object can do

something, or whether it just would not make sense. Other programming languages

often determine whether an operation makes sense for an object by making sure the

object can never be stored somewhere where the operation will be performed on the

object (this type system is called static typing). Python does not do that. Instead it

stores the type of an object with the object, and checks when the operation is

performed whether that operation makes sense for that object

Python has many native data types. Here are the important ones:

Booleans are either True or False.

Numbers can be integers (1 and 2), floats (1.1 and 1.2), fractions (1/2 and 2/3), or even
complex numbers.

Strings are sequences of Unicode characters, e.g. an HTML document.

Bytes and byte arrays, e.g. a JPEG image file.

Lists are ordered sequences of values.

Tuples are ordered, immutable sequences of values.

Sets are unordered bags of values.

pg. 12
 Variable
Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means
that when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory.

Based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides
what can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data
types to variables, you can store integers, decimals or characters in these
variables.

Ex: counter = 100 # An integer

assignment miles = 1000.0 # A floating

point name = "John" # A string

String
In programming terms, we usually call text a string. When you think of a string as a
collection of letters, the term makes sense.

All the letters, numbers, and symbols in this book could be string.

For that matter, your name could be a string, and so could your

address.

Creating Strings

In Python, we create a string by putting quotes around text. For example, we could take our
otherwise useless

• "hello “+” world" "hello world" # concatenation

• "hello"*3 "hellohellohello" # repetition

• "hello"[0] "h" # indexing

• "hello"[-1] "o" # (from end)

• "hello"[1:4] "ell" # slicing

pg. 13
 • Len("hello") 5 # size

• "hello" < "Jello" 1 # comparison

• "e" in "hello" 1 # search

Python Operator

Operator Meaning Example

+ Add two operands or unary plus x+y

+2

- Subtract right operand from the left or unary minus x-y

-2

* Multiply two operands x*y

/ Divide left operand by the right one (always results into float) x/y

% Modulus - remainder of the division of left operand by the right x%y

(remainder
of x/y)

// Floor division - division that results into whole number adjusted to the left in the x // y
number line

** Exponent - left operand raised to the power of right x**y (x to

the power
y)

pg. 14
 Tuples
A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects. Tuples are sequences, just like lists. The
differences between tuples and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed unlike lists and tuples
use parentheses.

Accessing Values in Tuples:

To access values in tuple, use the square brackets for slicing along with the index or

indices to obtain value available at that index. For example − tup1 = ('physics',

'chemistry', 1997, 2000); tup2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); print "tup1[0]: ", tup1[0] print

"tup2[1:5]: ", tup2[1:5]

When the above code is executed, it produces the following result − tup1[0]:

physics tup2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]

Basic Tuples Operations

Tuples respond to the + and * operators much like strings; they mean concatenation
and repetition here too, except that the result is a new tuple, not a string. In fact,
tuples respond to all of the general sequence operations we used on strings in the
prior chapter −

Python Expression Results Description

len((1, 2, 3)) 3 Length

(1, 2, 3) + (4, 5, 6) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Concatenation

Built-in Tuple Functions

Python includes the following tuple functions −

SN Function with Description

1 cmp(tuple1, tuple2) Compares elements of both tuples.

2 len(tuple) Gives the total length of the tuple.

3 max(tuple) Returns item from the tuple with max value.

4 min(tuple) Returns item from the tuple with min value.

5 tuple(seq) Converts a list into tuple.

LIST
as a list of comma- separated values (items) between square brackets. Important
thing about a list is that items in a list need not be of the same type.

Creating a list is as simple as putting different comma-separated values between

square brackets. For example − list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; list2 = [1,

2, 3, 4, 5 ]; list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];

Similar to string indices, list indices start at 0, and lists can be sliced, concatenated and so on.

Accessing Values in Lists:

To access values in lists, use the square brackets for slicing along with the index or

indices to obtain value available at that index. For example − list1 = ['physics',

'chemistry', 1997, The list is a most versatile datatype available in Python which can be

written

pg. 16
2000]; list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]; print "list1[0]: ", list1[0] print "list2[1:5]: ", list2[1:5]
Output: list1[0]: physics

list2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]

Update: list = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; print

"Value available at index 2 : " print list[2] list[2] = 2001; print

"New value available at index 2 : " print list[2]

Output: Value available at index 2 :

1997 New value available at index 2 :
2001

Delete: list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; print

list1 del list1[2]; print "After deleting value at index 2 :

" print list1

['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]

Output: After deleting value at index 2 :

['physics', 'chemistry', 2000]

 Loop Definition
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated
execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times. The
following diagram illustrates a loop statement −

> Greater that - True if left operand is greater than the right x>y
< Less that - True if left operand is less than the right x<y

== Equal to - True if both operands are equal x == y

!= Not equal to - True if operands are not equal x != y

>= Greater than or equal to - True if left operand is greater than or equal to x >= y
the right

<= Less than or equal to - True if left operand is less than or equal to the right +x <= y

pg. 19
Python programming language provides following types of loops to handle looping
requirements.

Loop Type Description

while loop Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given

condition is TRUE. It tests the condition before executing the loop
body.

for loop Executes a sequence of statements multiple times and

abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.

nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for or
do..while loop.

Loop Example:
For Loop:
>>> for mynum in [1, 2, 3, 4,

5]: print ("Hello", mynum )

Hello 1
Hello 2
Hello 3
Hello 4
Hello 5

While Loop:
>>> count = 0 >>while(count< 4):

pg. 20
print 'The count is:', count
count = count + 1

The count is: 0

The count is: 1

The count is: 2

The count is: 3

Conditional Statements:
Decision making is anticipation of conditions occurring while execution of the program and
specifying actions taken according to the conditions.

Decision structures evaluate multiple expressions which produce TRUE or FALSE

as outcome. You need to determine which action to take and which statements
to execute if outcome is TRUE or FALSE otherwise.

Python programming language provides following types of decision making statements.

Click the following links to check their detail.

pg. 21
Statement Description

if statements An if statement consists of a boolean expression followed by

one or more statements.

if...else statements An if statement can be followed by an optional else

statement, which executes when the boolean expression is
FALSE.

nested if statements You can use one if or else if statement inside

another if or else if statement(s).

Example:
If
State
ment:
a=33
b=200

If

b>a:

print

(“b”)

If...Else
Statement:
a=200 b=33
if b>a: print(“b is greater
than a”) else: print(“a is
greater than b”)

pg. 22
 FUNCTION

Function blocks begin with the keyword def followed by the function name and parentheses (
).
Any input parameters or arguments should be placed within these parentheses. You
can also define parameters inside these parentheses.
The first statement of a function can be an optional statement - the documentation string of
the function.
The code block within every function starts with a colon (:) and is indented.
The statement return [expression] exits a function, optionally passing back an expression to
the caller. A return statement with no arguments is the same as return None.

Syntax:
Def functionname(parameters):
“Function docstring”
Function suite
Return[expression]

Example:

Def printme(str):
“This print a passed string into
this function” print str return
1. # Function definition is here
def printme( str ):
"This prints a passed string into this
function" print str return;

# Now you can call printme function printme("I'm

first call to user defined function!") printme("Again
second call to the same function")

• Python is object-oriented o Structure supports such concepts as polymorphism,

operation overloading, and multiple inheritance.
• Indentation o Indentation is one of the greatest future in Python.
• It's free (open source) o Downloading and installing Python is free and easy o Source
code is easily accessible

• It's powerful o Dynamic typing o Built-in types and tools o Library utilities
o Third party utilities (e.g. Numeric, NumPy, SciPy) o Automatic
memory management
• It's portable o Python runs virtually every major platform used
today o As long as you have a compatible Python interpreter
installed, Python programs will run in exactly the same
manner, irrespective of platform.

 Conclusion
I believe the trial has shown conclusively that it is both possible and desirable to use
Python as the principal teaching language:

o It is Free (as in both cost and source code).

o It is trivial to install on a Windows PC allowing students to take their
interest further. For many the hurdle of installing a Pascal or C compiler
on a Windows machine is either too expensive or too complicated;
o It is a flexible tool that allows both the teaching of traditional procedural
programming and modern OOP; It can be used to teach a large number
of transferable skills;
o It is a real-world programming language that can be and is used in
academia and the commercial world;
o It appears to be quicker to learn and, in combination with its many
libraries, this offers the possibility of more rapid student development
allowing the course to be made more challenging and varied;
and most importantly, its clean syntax offers increased understanding and enjoyment
for students
