Python Programming: Start Your Python Scripts in Pycharm

1. This document provides instructions for setting up PyCharm to write and execute Python scripts for a class. 2. It describes how to install Python packages like NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib using either Anaconda or a virtual environment in PyCharm. 3. Steps are outlined for creating a new PyCharm project, selecting an interpreter, writing a simple test script that prints output, and running code using the Run and Debug functions.

Table of Contents

1. PyCharm Setup

PyCharm Setup
Python execution

How can you execute your python scripts?

• go to terminal (“Command Prompt” in Windows) - run python


• go to terminal - run ipython
• Jupyter Notebook

3
Terminal - Python

Command Prompt - Python


You can run a python script by typing “python your_script _name.py”
or open interactive shell by simply typing “python”

4
Terminal - IPython

Ipython is an interactive command-line terminal with extra features


like tab-completion, testing, debugging, system calls and other
features.
type “ipython” in the terminal

5
Python execution

How will we write and execute python scripts in this class?

• go to terminal - python, ipython


• PyCharm (with ipython) - we will use this
• We can use Jupyter Notebook using PyCharm as well

6
Start PyCharm (1)

1. Start PyCharm

7
Start PyCharm (2)

1. Start PyCharm
2. Create new project

8
Start PyCharm (3)

1. Start PyCharm
2. Create new project - choose your directory - create a new folder
if needed

9
Start PyCharm (4)

1. Start PyCharm
2. Create new project - choose your directory

10
Start PyCharm (5)

1. Start PyCharm
2. Create new project - choose your directory
3. Project Interpreter- New environment using Virtualenv - Inherit
global site-packages unless you want to build everything from
scratch

11
Start PyCharm (6)

We are almost there! Create your first python script

12
Start Pycharm

Now you can write your own script.

13
Installation of Python packages

1. NumPy : N-dimensional array package


2. SciPy : Scientific computing library package
3. Matplotlib : Plotting package
4. FloPy : MODFLOW python interface package
5. Jupytor : Jupyter Notebook (not required)

Package installation:

• You can install them in our Anaconda Python (“Anaconda


Navigator” - Environments - root - change “ installed“” to “not
installed” - and “search Packages”: this might require root or
administrator permission)
• Or, we can install them separately within your virtual
environment

14
Virtual Environment (virtualenv)

What is Virtual Environment?

• It is a tool to create isolated Python development environments


• This will address the issue of version dependencies and
permissions.
• For example, your current application requires version 1.0 of
program A and another application needs version 1.57 of
program A, how can you maintain both applications?
• Or, you accidentally upgrade program A to its version 2.0 and
your applications stop working. How can you deal with this.
• virtualenv basically creates a development environment that
has its own installation directory under your current workspace.

15
Package installation (1)

File - Settings - Project - Project Interpretator + click ”+” button


16
Package installation (2)

Install numpy, scipy, matplotlib and flopy (and jupyter if you want) 17
Package installation (3)

If you have issues with installation, you can go to ”Command


Prompt” (Windows) or Terminal (Linux or Mac) and type

“pip install your_package”


for example, “pip install flopy”

18
Write your first script

Then turn on ”Scientific mode” View - Scientific Mode

19
my_first_python_script.py

nlay = 5 # number of layers


nrow = 10 # number of rows
ncol = 20 # number of columns

nlay,nrow,ncol = 5,10,20 # more compact way


# spacing along a row (ncol) and column (nrow), respecti
delr, delc = 1.5, 2.5

print("nrow: %d, delc: %f" % (nrow, delc))

• run you script by Run - Run or Alt+Shift+F10


• or you can select lines and mouse right-click - Execute Selection
in Console or Alt+Shift+E

20
Jupyter Notebook (not required!)

Jupyter Notebook is another interactive computational environment


on your web browser supported by Python community. While we
stick to PyCharm in this class, you can use the Notebook for
interactive python scripting.

1. Create your notebook file : File - New - Jupyter Notebook


2. click ”green” run cell button
3. cancel the dialog box below
4. click ”Run Jupyter Notebook” in yellow error message
5. click the url ”http://127.0.0.1:8888....” below to open your default
browser
6. When you finish the notebook, stop it by clicking the red stop
button in Run Tool Window (or Ctrl+F2)

21
numpy and matplotlib

We will look into the code later in detail

import numpy as np # n-dimensional array


x = np.linspace(0,2*np.pi,100)
y = np.sin(x)

import matplotlib.pylab as plt


plt.figure()
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.title('my first plot!')
plt.show()
