Introduction to Python

• Python is a general-purpose, dynamic, high-level, and interpreted


programming language.

• Python supports multiple programming patterns, including object-oriented,


imperative, and functional or procedural programming styles.
• It was created by Guido van Rossum during 1985- 1990. Python source code
is available under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
• Python has many web-based assets, open-source projects, and a vibrant
community.
• Python is an open-source, cost-free programming language. It is utilized in
several sectors and disciplines as a result.

❖ Python Basic Syntax


There is no use of curly braces or semicolon in Python programming language.

1. def func():
2. statement 1
3. statement 2
4. …………………
5. …………………
statement N

✓ In the above example, the statements that are the same level to the right
belong to the function. Generally, we can use four whitespaces to define
indentation.

❖ Python Features
• Readability: Python's syntax emphasizes code readability and uses
indentation to define code blocks, making it easy to write and understand
code.
• Versatility: Python can be used for various applications, including web
development, data analysis, scientific computing, artificial intelligence,
automation, and more.
• Dynamic Typing: Python uses dynamic typing, allowing variables to
change types on the fly, which enhances flexibility and reduces the need
for explicit type declarations.
• Interpreted Nature: Python is an interpreted language, allowing you to
execute code directly without needing a compilation step, making
development and debugging quicker.
• Large Standard Library: Python comes with a comprehensive standard
library that provides modules and functions for a wide range of tasks,
reducing the need to reinvent the wheel.
• Cross-Platform: Python is cross-platform, meaning code written on one
platform can be easily executed on other platforms without significant
modifications.
• Object-Oriented: Python supports object-oriented programming,
allowing you to structure code using classes and objects for better
organization and reusability.
• Extensive Third-Party Libraries: Python has a vast ecosystem of third-
party libraries and frameworks that simplify complex tasks and accelerate
development.
• Community and Support: Python has a large and active community of
developers who contribute to its growth, provide support, and create
various resources for learning.

• Open Source: Python is an open-source language, meaning its source


code is freely available to the public, promoting collaboration and
enabling customization according to specific needs.

❖ Python Application

1) Web Applications

• We can use Python to develop web


applications.
• It provides libraries to handle
internet protocols such as HTML and
XML, JSON, Email processing, request,
beautifulSoup, Feedparser, etc.

2) Desktop GUI Applications

• The GUI stands for the Graphical User


Interface, which provides a smooth
interaction to any application.

3) Console-based Application

• Console-based applications run from the command-line or shell. These


applications are computer program which are used commands to
execute.
• This kind of application was more popular in the old generation of
computers. Python can develop this kind of application very
effectively.

4) Software Development

• Python is useful for the software development process.


• It works as a support language and can be used to build control and
management, testing, etc.

5) Scientific and Numeric

• This is the era of Artificial intelligence where the machine can perform
the task the same as the human.
• Python language is the most suitable language for Artificial intelligence
or machine learning.
• It consists of many scientific and mathematical libraries, which makes
easy to solve complex calculations.

6) Business Applications

• Business Applications differ from standard applications. E-commerce


and ERP are an example of a business application.
• This kind of application requires extensively, scalability and readability,
and Python provides all these features.

7) Audio or Video-based Applications

• Python is flexible to perform multiple tasks and can be used to create


multimedia applications.
• Some multimedia applications which are made by using Python
are TimPlayer, cplay, etc.

8) 3D CAD Applications

• The CAD (Computer-aided design) is used to design engineering


related architecture.
• It is used to develop the 3D representation of a part of a system.
• Python can create a 3D CAD application by using the following
functionalities.

9) Enterprise Applications

• Python can be used to create applications that can be used within an


Enterprise or an Organization.
• Some real-time applications are OpenERP, Tryton, Picalo, etc.

10) Image Processing Application

• Python contains many libraries that are used to work with the image.
• The image can be manipulated according to our requirements.

❖ First Python Program


So before moving on further.. let’s do the most popular ‘HelloWorld’ tradition .

# Python code for "Hello World"

# nothing else to type...see how simple is the syntax.

print("Topper World")

Output:

Topper World
