PYTHON – INSTALLATION
1.Checking python software installed or not in laptop/computer
✓We can check python software is installed or not in laptop/computer.
✓Open a command prompt in your laptop/computer.
✓Type py command in command prompt and enter then check it.

✓If python is not installed, then we will get response as above screenshot.

PYTHON – INTRODUCTION

1. WHAT IS PYTHON?
✓ Python is a general purpose and high-level programming language.

✓ General purpose means, currently all companies are using python

programming language to develop, test and deploy the software
applications.

✓ High level programming means, it’s a human readable language and

easy to understand.

2. PYTHON PROGRAMMING APPLICATIONS
✓By using python programming we can develop,
Type of application Purpose of the application

1. Standalone ✓ An application which needs to install on every machine to work

application with that application.

2. Web applications ✓ An application which follows client-server architecture.

3. Database ✓ An application which perform curd (create, update, retrieve and

applications delete) operations in database.

4. Bigdata applications ✓ An application which can process the BigData. (like pyspark)

5. Machine learning ✓ An application which enables computers to learn automatically from

past data.

3. IMPORTANT FEATURES
✓ Easy to Learn ✓ Both Procedure and Object Oriented
✓ Freeware and Open Source ✓ Interpreted
✓ High Level Language ✓ Extensible
✓ Platform Independent ✓ Embeddable
✓ Memory Management ✓ Huge Library
✓ Dynamically Typed

4. HISTORY OF PYTHON?
✓ Python was created by Guido Van Rossum in the
year of 1991.
✓ Python is open-source software means we can
download freely from www.python.org website
and customise the code as well. Guido Van Rossum

5. WHY THE NAME IS PYTHON?

✓ A TV show Monty Python’s Flying Circus was very much popular
fun show in 1980’s.
✓ So, Guido likes this show and given this name to his programming
language.
6. PYTHON LOGO

 7. CURRENT PYTHON VERSION
✓ While preparing this document the current python version is,
O Python 3.13.1

8. PYTHON SUPPORTS
✓Python supports Functional and Object-oriented programming
approach

Python = Functional Programming + Object Oriented Programming

 9. HOW PYTHON WORKS
✓ Python Virtual Machine (PVM) is a program which provides programming
environment.
✓ The compiled code of python source code is called byte code. Byte code is
collection of mnemonics which understand by PVM. Byte code is platform
independent code.
✓ The role of PVM is to convert the byte code instructions into machine code so the
computer can execute those machine code instructions and display the output.
✓ Interpreter converts the byte code into machine code and sends that machine
code to the computer processor for execution.

PYTHON – KEYWORDS

1. What is a keyword in Python?

The word which is reserved to do a specific purpose, that word is
called as keyword or reserved word.

2. How many keywords in PYTHON-3.13.1 version?

✓There are total 35 keywords are available in python 3.13.1 version.
✓All keywords list we can check from below website url

o https://docs.python.org/3.13/reference/lexical_analysis.html#keywords
