Introduction
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.
In OO programming, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects that interact
with one another. There is significant diversity in objectoriented 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.”
Over six years ago, in December 1989, I was looking for a "hobby" programming project that
would keep me occupied during the week around Christmas. My office ... would be closed, but I
had a home Computer, and not much else on my hands. I decided to write an interpreter for the
new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a descendant of ABC that would appeal
to Unix/C hackers. I chose Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent
mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus).
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.”
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.
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.”
f 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...
Scroll down in the window and find the “Add Python.exe to Path” and click on the small red
“x.” Choose the “Will be installed on local hard drive” option then press “Next.”
Now that you have completed the installation process, click on “Finish.
Setup the Path Variable
Begin by opening the start menu and typing in “environment” and select the option called
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: “Pythonpath.”
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
press
(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:
Numbers can be integers (1 and 2), floats (1.1 and 1.2), fractions (1/2 and 2/3), or even
complex numbers.
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.
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 a 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

Arithmetic Operator
Operator
Meaning Example
/ Divide left operand by the right one (always results into x/y
float)
% Modulus - remainder of the division of left operand by the x % y (remainder
right of x/y)
Comparison Operator
> 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
Cha
>= Greater than or equal to - True if left operand is greater than or equal x >= y

<= Less than or equal to - True if left operand is less than or equal to the +x <=
right y
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.
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]
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 −
List
The list is a most versatile datatype available in Python which can be written 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.
Similar to string indices, list indices start at 0, and lists can be sliced, concatenated and so on.
value available at that index. For example − list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 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]
del list1[2]; print "After deleting value at index 2 : " print list1
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 −
Python programming language provides following types of loops to handle looping requirements.
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]:
Hello 1
Hello 2
Hello 3
Hello 4
Hello 5
While Loop:
>>> count = 0 >>while(count< 4):
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.
Statement Description
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”)
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.
Syntex:
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;
