Introduction to Python
• Python is a very powerful high-level, dynamic
object-oriented programming language created
by Guido van Rossum in 1991.
• It is implemented in C, and relies on the
extensive portable C libraries.
• It is a cross-platform language and runs on all
major hardware platforms and operating
systems, including Windows, Linux/UNIX, and
Macintosh.
• Python has an easy-to-use syntax and is quite
easy to learn, making it suitable for those who
are still learning to program.
• Python has a rich set of supporting libraries,
and many third-party modules are available for
it.
• Python is a programming language that also
supports scripting, making it suitable for rapid
application development.
Python Implementations
• The traditional Python implementation is called
CPython
• There are many alternative implementations
based on CPyhton such as, Jython, Iron-Python,
PyPy ,Stackless Python and MicroPython
• Other parties have re-packaged CPython where
these re-packagings often include more libraries
or are specialized for a particular application
– Anaconda Python (the one that we are going to use)
Features of Python
• Python is easy to learn.
– Programmers familiar with traditional languages will find all the familiar
constructs, such as loops, conditional statements, arrays, and so on.
• It has easier to read syntax.
– It avoids the use of punctuation characters like { } $ / and \.
• It uses white space to indent lines for defining blocks instead of
using brackets.
• Python is free.
– You can download and install any version of Python and use it to develop
software for commercial or personal applications without paying a penny.
Python is developed under the open-source model. You can copy Python,
modify it, and even resell it.
• It comes with a large number of libraries included
– there are many more that you can download and install.
• Python can be integrated with other languages, like C,
C++, and Java.
• Python is an interpreted language
– Therefore it supports a complete debugging and diagnostic
environment making the job of fixing mistakes much faster.
• Python is a good choice for web development,
networking, games, data processing, and business
applications.
Interacting with Python
• There are two ways to work with Python
interactively:
– Using Command Line Mode
– Using IDE
Command Line Mode
• In command line mode, you type Python
instructions one line at a time.
• You can also import code from other files or
modules.
IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

• We are going to use Spyder as the IDE from


Anaconda python
Writing Your First Python Program

# The program calculates area of rectangle


l=8
b=5
a=l*b
print ("Area of rectangle is ", a)

• Save it to your computer in any desired folder


by any name, for example, arearect.py
• The program consists of two variables, l and
b, initialized to values 8 and 5, respectively.
• The l and b variables here represent the
length and breadth of a rectangle.
• The l and b are multiplied, and the result is
stored in a third variable, a, that is then
displayed as the area of a rectangle.
