FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING Saman Siadati
INTRODUCTION
 Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.
 Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python's design
philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant
whitespace.
 Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers
write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.
INTRODUCTION
 Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected.
 It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly,
procedural), object-oriented, and functional programming.
 Python is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its
comprehensive standard library.
 Python was conceived in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC language.
 Python 2.0, released in 2000, introduced features like list comprehensions and a
garbage collection system with reference counting.
INTRODUCTION
 Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision of the language that is not
completely backward-compatible, and much Python 2 code does not run unmodified
on Python 3.
No more security patches or other improvements will be released for it. With Python
2's end-of-life, only Python 3.5.x and later are supported.
Python interpreters are available for many operating systems. A global community
of programmers develops and maintains CPython, an open source reference
implementation.
 A non-profit organization, the Python Software Foundation, manages and directs
resources for Python and CPython development.
INTRODUCTION
Python 2.0 was released on 16 October 2000 with many major new
features, including a cycle-detecting garbage collector and support for
Unicode.
Python 3.0 was released on 3 December 2008. It was a major revision of the
language that is not completely backward-compatible. Many of its major
features were backported to Python 2.6. and 2.7.x version series. Releases of
Python 3 include the 2to3 utility, which automates (at least partially) the
translation of Python 2 code to Python 3.
FEATURES AND PHILOSOPHY
 Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and
structured programming are fully supported, and many of its features support functional
programming and aspect-oriented programming (including by metaprogramming and
metaobjects (magic methods)).
 Many other paradigms are supported via extensions, including design by contract and logic
programming.
Python uses dynamic typing and a combination of reference counting and a cycle-detecting
garbage collector for memory management. It also features dynamic name resolution (late
binding), which binds method and variable names during program execution.
Python's design offers some support for functional programming in the Lisp tradition. It has
filter, map, and reduce functions; list comprehensions, dictionaries, sets, and generator
expressions. The standard library has two modules (itertools and functools) that implement
functional tools borrowed from Haskell and Standard ML.
THE STANDARD TYPE
HIERARCHY IN PYTHON 3
LIBRARIES
 Python's large standard library, commonly cited as one of its greatest strengths,
provides tools suited to many tasks. For Internet-facing applications, many standard
formats and protocols such as MIME and HTTP are supported.
 It includes modules for creating graphical user interfaces, connecting to relational
databases, generating pseudorandom numbers, arithmetic with arbitrary-precision
decimals, manipulating regular expressions, and unit testing.
Some parts of the standard library are covered by specifications (for example, the
Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) implementation wsgiref follows PEP 333),
but most modules are not.
 They are specified by their code, internal documentation, and test suites. However,
because most of the standard library is cross-platform Python code, only a few
modules need altering or rewriting for variant implementations.
