What is Class:
⚽ In Python every thing is an object. To create objects we required some Model or Plan
or Blue print, which is nothing but class.
⚽ We can write a class to represent properties (attributes) and actions (behaviour) of
object.

⚽ Properties can be represented by variables

⚽ Actions can be represented by Methods.

⚽ Hence class contains both variables and methods.

How to define a Class?

We can define a class by using class keyword.

Syntax:
class className:
''' documenttation string '''
variables:instance variables,static and local variables
methods: instance methods,static methods,class methods

Documentation string represents description of the class. Within the class doc string is
always optional. We can get doc string by using the following 2 ways.

1) print(classname. doc )
2) help(classname)

Example:

1) class Student:
2) ''''' This is student class with required data'''
3) print(Student. doc )
4) help(Student)

Within the Python class we can represent data by using variables.

There are 3 types of variables are allowed.

1) Instance Variables (Object Level Variables)

2) Static Variables (Class Level Variables)
3) Local variables (Method Level Variables)

Within the Python class, we can represent operations by using methods. The following are
various types of allowed methods

1) Instance Methods
2) Class Methods
3) Static Methods

Example for Class:

1) class Student:
2) '''''Developed by durga for python demo'''
3) def init (self):
4) self.name='durga'
5) self.age=40
6) self.marks=80
7)
8) def talk(self):
9) print("Hello I am :",self.name)
10) print("My Age is:",self.age)
11) print("My Marks are:",self.marks)

What is Object:
Pysical existence of a class is nothing but object. We can create any number of objects for a
class.

Syntax to Create Object: referencevariable = classname()

Example: s = Student()

What is Reference Variable?

The variable which can be used to refer object is called reference variable. By
using reference variable, we can access properties and methods of object.

Program: Write a Python program to create a Student class and Creates an object to it. Call
the method talk() to display student details

1) class Student:
2)
3) def init (self,name,rollno,marks):
4) self.name=name
5) self.rollno=rollno
6) self.marks=marks
7)

 8) def talk(self):
9) print("Hello My Name is:",self.name)
10) print("My Rollno is:",self.rollno)
11) print("My Marks are:",self.marks)
12)
13) s1=Student("Durga",101,80)
14) s1.talk()

Output:
D:\durgaclasses>py test.py
Hello My Name is: Durga
My Rollno is: 101
My Marks are: 80

Self Variable:
 self is the default variable which is always pointing to current object (like this
keyword in Java)
 By using self we can access instance variables and instance methods of object.

Note:
1) self should be first parameter inside
constructor def init (self):
2) self should be first parameter inside instance
methods def talk(self):

Constructor Concept:
☕ Constructor is a special method in python.
☕ The name of the constructor should be init (self)
☕ Constructor will be executed automatically at the time of object creation.
☕ The main purpose of constructor is to declare and initialize instance variables.
☕ Per object constructor will be exeucted only once.
☕ Constructor can take atleast one argument(atleast self)
☕ Constructor is optional and if we are not providing any constructor then python will
provide default constructor.

Example:

1) def init (self,name,rollno,marks):

2) self.name=name
3) self.rollno=rollno
4) self.marks=marks

Program to demonistrate Constructor will execute only once per Object:

1) class Test:
2)
3) def init (self):
4) print("Constructor exeuction...")
5)
6) def m1(self):
7) print("Method execution...")
8)
9) t1=Test()
10) t2=Test()
11) t3=Test()
12) t1.m1()

Output
Constructor exeuction...
Constructor exeuction...
Constructor exeuction...
Method execution...

Program:

1) class Student:
2)
3) ''''' This is student class with required data'''
4) def init (self,x,y,z):
5) self.name=x
6) self.rollno=y
7) self.marks=z
8)
9) def display(self):
10) print("Student Name:{}\nRollno:{} \nMarks:{}".format(self.name,self.rollno,self
.marks))
11)
12) s1=Student("Durga",101,80)
13) s1.display()
14) s2=Student("Sunny",102,100)
15) s2.display()

Output
Student Name:Durga
Rollno:101
Marks:80

Differences between Methods and Constructors

Method Constructor
1) Name of method can be any name 1) Constructor name should be always init
2) Method will be executed if we call that 2) Constructor will be executed automatically at
method the time of object creation.
3) Per object, method can be called any number 3) Per object, Constructor will be executed only
of times. once
4) Inside method we can write business logic 4) Inside Constructor we have to declare and
initialize instance variables

Types of Variables:
Inside Python class 3 types of variables are allowed.

1) Instance Variables (Object Level Variables)

2) Static Variables (Class Level Variables)
3) Local variables (Method Level Variables)

1)Instance Variables:
 If the value of a variable is varied from object to object, then such type of variables are
called instance variables.
 For every object a separate copy of instance variables will be created.

Where we can declare Instance Variables:

1) Inside Constructor by using self variable
2) Inside Instance Method by using self variable
3) Outside of the class by using object reference variable

1) Inside Constructor by using Self Variable:

We can declare instance variables inside a constructor by using self keyword. Once we
creates object, automatically these variables will be added to the object.

1) class Employee:
2)
3) def init (self):
4) self.eno=100
5) self.ename='Durga'

 6) self.esal=10000
7)
8) e=Employee()
9) print(e. dict )

Output: {'eno': 100, 'ename': 'Durga', 'esal': 10000}

2) Inside Instance Method by using Self Variable:

We can also declare instance variables inside instance method by using self variable. If
any instance variable declared inside instance method, that instance variable will be
added once we call taht method.

1) class Test:
2)
3) def init (self):
4) self.a=10
5) self.b=20
6)
7) def m1(self):
8) self.c=30
9)
10) t=Test()
11) t.m1()
12) print(t. dict )

Output: {'a': 10, 'b': 20, 'c': 30}

3) Outside of the Class by using Object Reference Variable:

We can also add instance variables outside of a class to a particular object.

1) class Test:
2)
3) def init (self):
4) self.a=10
5) self.b=20
6) def m1(self):
7) self.c=30
8)
9) t=Test()
10) t.m1()
11) t.d=40
12) print(t. dict )

Output {'a': 10, 'b': 20, 'c': 30, 'd': 40}

How to Access Instance Variables:
We can access instance variables with in the class by using self variable and outside of the
class by using object reference.

1) class Test:
2)
3) def init (self):
4) self.a=10
5) self.b=20
6) def display(self):
7) print(self.a)
8) print(self.b)
9)
10) t=Test()
11) t.display()
12) print(t.a,t.b)

Output
10
20
10 20

How to delete Instance Variable from the Object:

1) Within a class we can delete instance variable as
follows del self.variableName

2) From outside of class we can delete instance variables as follows

del objectreference.variableName

1) class Test:
2) def init (self):
3) self.a=10
4) self.b=20
5) self.c=30
6) self.d=40
7) def m1(self):
8) del self.d
9)
10) t=Test()
11) print(t. dict )
12) t.m1()
13) print(t. dict )
14) del t.c
15) print(t. dict )

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
Output
{'a': 10, 'b': 20, 'c': 30, 'd': 40}
{'a': 10, 'b': 20, 'c': 30}
{'a': 10, 'b': 20}

Note: The instance variables which are deleted from one object,will not be deleted from
other objects.

1) class Test:
2) def init (self):
3) self.a=10
4) self.b=20
5) self.c=30
6) self.d=40
7)
8) t1=Test()
9) t2=Test()
10) del t1.a
11) print(t1. dict )
12) print(t2. dict )

Output
{'b': 20, 'c': 30, 'd': 40}
{'a': 10, 'b': 20, 'c': 30, 'd': 40}

If we change the values of instance variables of one object then those changes won't be
reflected to the remaining objects, because for every object we are separate copy of
instance variables are available.

1) class Test:
2) def init (self):
3) self.a=10
4) self.b=20
5)
6) t1=Test()
7) t1.a=888
8) t1.b=999
9) t2=Test()
10) print('t1:',t1.a,t1.b)
11) print('t2:',t2.a,t2.b)

Output
t1: 888 999
t2: 10 20

2)Static Variables:
☕ If the value of a variable is not varied from object to object, such type of variables we
have to declare with in the class directly but outside of methods. Such types of
variables are called Static variables.
☕ For total class only one copy of static variable will be created and shared by all
objects of that class.
☕ We can access static variables either by class name or by object reference. But
recommended to use class name.

Instance Variable vs Static Variable:

Note: In the case of instance variables for every object a seperate copy will be
created,but in the case of static variables for total class only one copy will be created and
shared by every object of that class.

1) class Test:
2) x=10
3) def init (self):
4) self.y=20
5)
6) t1=Test()
7) t2=Test()
8) print('t1:',t1.x,t1.y)
9) print('t2:',t2.x,t2.y)
10) Test.x=888
11) t1.y=999
12) print('t1:',t1.x,t1.y)
13) print('t2:',t2.x,t2.y)

Output
t1: 10 20
t2: 10 20
t1: 888 999
t2: 888 20

Various Places to declare Static Variables:

1) In general we can declare within the class directly but from out side of any method
2) Inside constructor by using class name
3) Inside instance method by using class name
4) Inside classmethod by using either class name or cls variable
5) Inside static method by using class name

Where we can modify the Value of Static Variable:

Anywhere either with in the class or outside of class we can modify by using classname.
But inside class method, by using cls variable.

1) class Test:
2) a=777
3) @classmethod
4) def m1(cls):
5) cls.a=888
6) @staticmethod
7) def m2():

11) print(Test.a)
12) Test.m2()
13) print(Test.a)

Output

*****
If we change the Value of Static Variable by using either self OR
Object Reference Variable:
If we change the value of static variable by using either self or object reference variable,
then the value of static variable won't be changed, just a new instance variable with that
name will be added to that particular object.

29) print(Test. dict )

****Note:
⚽ By using object reference variable/self we can read static variables, but we cannot
modify or delete.
⚽ If we are trying to modify, then a new instance variable will be added to that
particular object.
⚽ t1.a = 70
⚽ If we are trying to delete then we will get error.

Example:

1) class Test:
2) a=10
3)
4) t1=Test()
5) del t1.a ===>AttributeError: a

We can modify or delete static variables only by using classname or cls variable.

3)Local Variables:
⚽ Sometimes to meet temporary requirements of programmer,we can declare variables
inside a method directly,such type of variables are called local variable or temporary
variables.
⚽ Local variables will be created at the time of method execution and destroyed once
method completes.
⚽ Local variables of a method cannot be accessed from outside of method.

1) class Test:
2) def m1(self):
3) a=1000
4) print(a)
5) def m2(self):
6) b=2000
7) print(b)
8) t=Test()
9) t.m1()
10) t.m2()

Output
1000
2000

1) class Test:
2) def m1(self):
3) a=1000
4) print(a)
5) def m2(self):

Types of Methods:
Inside Python class 3 types of methods are allowed

1) Instance Methods
2) Class Methods
3) Static Methods

1)Instance Methods:
⚽ Inside method implementation if we are using instance variables then such type of
methods are called instance methods.
⚽ Inside instance method declaration, we have to pass self variable. def m1(self):
⚽ By using self variable inside method we can able to access instance variables.
⚽ Within the class we can call instance method by using self variable and from outside of
the class we can call by using object reference.

1) class Student:
2) def init (self,name,marks):
3) self.name=name
4) self.marks=marks
5) def display(self):
6) print('Hi',self.name)
7) print('Your Marks are:',self.marks)
8) def grade(self):
9) if self.marks>=60:
10) print('You got First Grade')
11) elif self.marks>=50:
12) print('Yout got Second Grade')
13) elif self.marks>=35:
14) print('You got Third Grade')
15) else:
16) print('You are Failed')
17) n=int(input('Enter number of students:'))
18) for i in range(n):

Setter and Getter Methods:

We can set and get the values of instance variables by using getter and setter methods.

Setter Method:
setter methods can be used to set values to the instance variables. setter methods also
known as mutator methods.

Syntax:
def setVariable(self,variable):
self.variable=variable

Example:
def setName(self,name):
self.name=name

Getter Method:
Getter methods can be used to get values of the instance variables. Getter methods also
known as accessor methods.

Syntax:
def getVariable(self):
return self.variable

Example:
def getName(self):
return self.name

1) class Student:
2) def setName(self,name):
3) self.name=name

Your Marks are: 80

2)Class Methods:
⚽ Inside method implementation if we are using only class variables (static variables),
then such type of methods we should declare as class method.
⚽ We can declare class method explicitly by using @classmethod decorator.
⚽ For class method we should provide cls variable at the time of declaration
⚽ We can call classmethod by using classname or object reference variable.

Program to track the Number of Objects created for a Class:

1) class Test:
2) count=0
3) def init (self):
4) Test.count =Test.count+1
5) @classmethod
6) def noOfObjects(cls):
7) print('The number of objects created for test class:',cls.count)
8)
9) t1=Test()
10) t2=Test()
11) Test.noOfObjects()
12) t3=Test()
13) t4=Test()
14) t5=Test()
15) Test.noOfObjects()

3)Static Methods:
⚽ In general these methods are general utility methods.
⚽ Inside these methods we won't use any instance or class variables.
⚽ Here we won't provide self or cls arguments at the time of declaration.
⚽ We can declare static method explicitly by using @staticmethod decorator
⚽ We can access static methods by using classname or object reference

1) class DurgaMath:
2)
3) @staticmethod
4) def add(x,y):
5) print('The Sum:',x+y)

14)
15) DurgaMath.add(10,20)
16) DurgaMath.product(10,20)
17) DurgaMath.average(10,20)

Output
The Sum: 30
The Product: 200
The average: 15.0

Note:
 In general we can use only instance and static methods.Inside static method we can
access class level variables by using class name.
 Class methods are most rarely used methods in python.

Passing Members of One Class to Another Class:

We can access members of one class inside another class.

1) class Employee:
2) def init (self,eno,ename,esal):
3) self.eno=eno
4) self.ename=ename
5) self.esal=esal
6) def display(self):

8) print('Employee Name:',self.ename)
9) print('Employee Salary:',self.esal)
10) class Test:
11) def modify(emp):
12) emp.esal=emp.esal+10000
13) emp.display()
14) e=Employee(100,'Durga',10000)

Output D:\
python_classes>py test.py
Employee Number: 100
Employee Name: Durga
Employee Salary: 20000

In the above application, Employee class members are available to Test class.

Inner Classes
Sometimes we can declare a class inside another class, such type of classes are called
inner classes.

Without existing one type of object if there is no chance of existing another type of object,
then we should go for inner classes.

Example: Without existing Car object there is no chance of existing Engine object.
Hence Engine class should be part of Car class.

class Car:
.....
class Engine:
......

Example: Without existing university object there is no chance of existing Department

object

class University:
.....
class Department:
......

Example: Without existing Human there is no chance of existin Head. Hence Head
should be part of Human.

class Human:
class Head:

Note: Without existing outer class object there is no chance of existing inner class object.
Hence inner class object is always associated with outer class object.

 Garbage Collection
⚽ In old languages like C++, programmer is responsible for both creation and destruction
of objects.Usually programmer taking very much care while creating object, but
nEglecting destruction of useless objects. Because of his nEglectance, total memory
can be filled with useless objects which creates memory problems and total
application will be down with Out of memory error.

⚽ But in Python, We have some assistant which is always running in the background to
destroy useless objects.Because this assistant the chance of failing Python program
with memory problems is very less. This assistant is nothing but Garbage Collector.
⚽ Hence the main objective of Garbage Collector is to destroy useless objects.

⚽ If an object does not have any reference variable then that object eligible for Garbage
Collection.

How to enable and disable Garbage Collector in our

Program:
By default Gargbage collector is enabled, but we can disable based on our requirement. In
this context we can use the following functions of gc module.

1) gc.isenabled()  Returns True if GC enabled

2) gc.disable() To disable GC explicitly

3) gc.enable() To enable GC explicitly

1) import gc
2) print(gc.isenabled())
3) gc.disable()
4) print(gc.isenabled())
5) gc.enable()
6) print(gc.isenabled())

Output
True
False
True

Destructors:
⚽ Destructor is a special method and the name should be del
⚽ Just before destroying an object Garbage Collector always calls destructor to perform
clean up activities (Resource deallocation activities like close database connection etc).
⚽ Once destructor execution completed then Garbage Collector automatically destroys
that object.

Note: The job of destructor is not to destroy object and it is just to perform clean up
activities.

1) import time
2) class Test:
3) def init (self):
4) print("Object Initialization...")
5) def del (self):
6) print("Fulfilling Last Wish and performing clean up activities...")
7)
8) t1=Test()
9) t1=None
10) time.sleep(5)
11) print("End of application")

Output
Object Initialization...
Fulfilling Last Wish and performing clean up activities...
End of application

Note: If the object does not contain any reference variable then only it is eligible fo GC. ie
if the reference count is zero then only object eligible for GC.

1) import time
2) class Test:
3) def init (self):
4) print("Constructor Execution...")
5) def del (self):
6) print("Destructor Execution...")
7)
8) t1=Test()
9) t2=t1
10) t3=t2

13) print("object not yet destroyed after deleting t1")
14) del t2

4) print("Constructor Execution...")
5) def del (self):
6) print("Destructor Execution...")
7)
8) list=[Test(),Test(),Test()]
9) del list
10) time.sleep(5)
11) print("End of application")

Output
Constructor Execution...
Constructor Execution...

How to find the Number of References of an Object:

sys module contains getrefcount() function for this purpose.
sys.getrefcount (objectreference)

1) import sys
2) class Test:
3) pass
4) t1=Test()
5) t2=t1
6) t3=t1
7) t4=t1
8) print(sys.getrefcount(t1))

Output 5

Note: For every object, Python internally maintains one default reference variable self.

 Inheritance
 Has-A Relationship
 IS-A Relationship
 IS-A vs HAS-A Relationship
 Composition vs Aggregation

 Types of Inheritance
 Single Inheritance
 Multi Level Inheritance
 Hierarchical Inheritance
 Multiple Inheritance
 Hybrid Inheritance
 Cyclic Inheritance

 Method Resolution Order (MRO)

 super() Method

Using Members of One Class inside Another Class:

We can use members of one class inside another class by using the following ways

1) By Composition (Has-A Relationship)

2) By Inheritance (IS-A Relationship)

1) By Composition (Has-A Relationship):

 By using Class Name or by creating object we can access members of one class inside
another class is nothing but composition (Has-A Relationship).
 The main advantage of Has-A Relationship is Code Reusability.

2) By Inheritance (IS-A Relationship):
What ever variables, methods and constructors available in the parent class by default
available to the child classes and we are not required to rewrite. Hence the main
advantage of inheritance is Code Reusability and we can extend existing functionality
with some more extra functionality.

Syntax: class childclass(parentclass)

2) a=10
3) def init (self):
4) self.b=10
5) def m1(self):

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
In the above example Parent class contains 10 methods and these methods automatically
available to the child class and we are not required to rewrite those methods(Code
Reusability)
Hence child class contains 15 methods.

Note: What ever members present in Parent class are by default available to the child
class through inheritance.

1) class P:
2) def m1(self):
3) print("Parent class method")
4) class C(P):
5) def m2(self):
6) print("Child class method")
7)
8) c=C();
9) c.m1()
10) c.m2()

Output:
Parent class method
Child class method

What ever methods present in Parent class are automatically available to the child class
and hence on the child class reference we can call both parent class methods and child
class methods.

Similarly variables also

1) class P:
2) a=10
3) def init (self):
4) self.b=20
5) class C(P):
6) c=30
7) def init (self):
8) super(). init___()===>Line-1
9) self.d=30
10)
11) c1=C()
12) print(c1.a,c1.b,c1.c,c1.d)

If we comment Line-1 then variable b is not available to the child class.

IS-A vs HAS-A Relationship:

 If we want to extend existing functionality with some more extra functionality then
we should go for IS-A Relationship.
 If we dont want to extend and just we have to use existing functionality then we
should go for HAS-A Relationship.
 Eg: Employee class extends Person class Functionality But Employee class just uses Car
functionality but not extending

Composition vs Aggregation:

Composition:
Without existing container object if there is no chance of existing contained object then
the container and contained objects are strongly associated and that strong association is
nothing but Composition.

Eg: University contains several Departments and without existing university object there
is no chance of existing Department object. Hence University and Department objects are
strongly associated and this strong association is nothing but Composition.

Department Object
(Contained Object)

University Object
(Container Object)

Aggregation:
Without existing container object if there is a chance of existing contained object then the
container and contained objects are weakly associated and that weak association is
nothing but Aggregation.

Eg: Department contains several Professors. Without existing Department still there may
be a chance of existing Professor. Hence Department and Professor Objects are weakly
associated, which is nothing but Aggregation.

Coding Example:

1) class Student:
2) collegeName='DURGASOFT'
3) def init (self,name):
4) self.name=name
5) print(Student.collegeName)
6) s=Student('Durga')
7) print(s.name)

Output:
DURGASOFT
Durga

In the above example without existing Student object there is no chance of existing his
name. Hence Student Object and his name are strongly associated which is nothing
but Composition.

But without existing Student object there may be a chance of existing collegeName. Hence
Student object and collegeName are weakly associated which is nothing but Aggregation.

Conclusion:
The relation between object and its instance variables is always Composition where as the
relation between object and static variables is Aggregation.

Note: Whenever we are creating child class object then child class constructor will be
executed. If the child class does not contain constructor then parent class constructor will
be executed, but parent object won't be created.

1) class P:
2) def init (self):
3) print(id(self))
4) class C(P):
5) pass
6) c=C()
7) print(id(c))

Output:
6207088
6207088

1) class Person:
2) def init (self,name,age):
3) self.name=name
4) self.age=age
5) class Student(Person):
6) def init (self,name,age,rollno,marks):
7) super(). init (name,age)
8) self.rollno=rollno
9) self.marks=marks
10) def str (self):
11) return 'Name={}\nAge={}\nRollno={}\nMarks={}'.format(self.name,self.age,sel
f.rollno,self.marks)
12) s1=Student('durga',48,101,90)
13) print(s1)

Output:
Name=durga
Age=48
Rollno=101
Marks=90

Note: In the above example when ever we are creating child class object both parent and
child class constructors got executed to perform initialization of child object.

Method Resolution Order (MRO):

 In Hybrid Inheritance the method resolution order is decided based on
MRO algorithm.
 This algorithm is also known as C3 algorithm.
 Samuele Pedroni proposed this algorithm.
 It follows DLR (Depth First Left to Right) i.e Child will get more priority than Parent.
 Left Parent will get more priority than Right Parent.
 MRO(X) = X+Merge(MRO(P1),MRO(P2),...,ParentList)

Head Element vs Tail Terminology:

 Assume C1,C2,C3,...are classes.
 In the list: C1C2C3C4C5....
 C1 is considered as Head Element and remaining is considered as Tail.

How to find Merge:

 Take the head of first list
 If the head is not in the tail part of any other list, then add this head to the result and
remove it from the lists in the merge.
 If the head is present in the tail part of any other list, then consider the head element
of the next list and continue the same process.

Note: We can find MRO of any class by using mro() function.

How to Call Method of a Particular Super Class:
We can use the following approaches

1) super(D, self).m1()
It will call m1() method of super class of D.

2) A.m1(self)
It will call A class m1() method

1) class A:
2) def m1(self):
3) print('A class Method')
4) class B(A):
5) def m1(self):
6) print('B class Method')
7) class C(B):

Case-1: From child class we are not allowed to access parent class instance variables by
using super(), Compulsory we should use self only.
But we can access parent class static variables by using super().

 POLYMORPHISM
poly means many. Morphs means forms.
Polymorphism means 'Many Forms'.

Eg1: Yourself is best example of polymorphism.In front of Your parents You will have
one type of behaviour and with friends another type of behaviour.Same person but
different behaviours at different places,which is nothing but polymorphism.

Eg2: + operator acts as concatenation and arithmetic addition

Eg3: * operator acts as multiplication and repetition operator

Eg4: The Same method with different implementations in Parent class and child classes.
(overriding)

Related to Polymorphism the following 4 topics are important

1) Duck Typing Philosophy of Python

2) Overloading
1) Operator Overloading
2) Method Overloading
3) Constructor Overloading

3) Overriding
1) Method Overriding
2) Constructor Overriding

1) Duck Typing Philosophy of Python:

In Python we cannot specify the type explicitly. Based on provided value at
runtime the type will be considered automatically. Hence Python is considered as
Dynamically Typed Programming Language.

def f1(obj):
obj.talk()

What is the Type of obj? We cannot decide at the Beginning. At Runtime we

can Pass any Type. Then how we can decide the Type?
At runtime if 'it walks like a duck and talks like a duck,it must be duck'. Python follows this
principle. This is called Duck Typing Philosophy of Python.

9) class Cat:

13) class Goat:

16)
17) def f1(obj):
18) obj.talk()
19)
20) l=[Duck(),Cat(),Dog(),Goat()]
21) for obj in l:
22) f1(obj)

Output:
Quack..
Quack.. Moew
Moew .. Bow
Bow..
Myaah Myaah ..

The problem in this approach is if obj does not contain talk() method then we will get
AttributeError.

1) class Duck:
2) def talk(self):
3) print('Quack.. Quack..')
4)
5) class Dog:
6) def bark(self):

But we can solve this problem by using hasattr() function.

hasattr(obj,'attributename')  attributename can be Method Name OR Variable Name

2) Overloading
We can use same operator or methods for different purposes.

Eg 1: + operator can be used for Arithmetic addition and String concatenation

print(10+20)#30
print('durga'+'soft')#durgasoft

Eg 2: * operator can be used for multiplication and string repetition purposes.

print(10*20)#200
print('durga'*3)#durgadurgadurga

Eg 3: We can use deposit() method to deposit cash or cheque or dd

deposit(cash)
deposit(cheque)
deposit(dd)

There are 3 types of Overloading

1) Operator Overloading
2) Method Overloading
3) Constructor Overloading

1)Operator Overloading:
 We can use the same operator for multiple purposes, which is nothing but
operator overloading.
 Python supports operator overloading.

Eg 1: + operator can be used for Arithmetic addition and String concatenation

print(10+20)#30
print('durga'+'soft')#durgasoft

Eg 2: * operator can be used for multiplication and string repetition purposes.

print(10*20)#200
print('durga'*3)#durgadurgadurga

Demo program to use + operator for our class objects:

1) class Book:
2) def init (self,pages):
3) self.pages=pages
4)
5) b1=Book(100)

7) print(b1+b2)

D:\durga_classes>py test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 7, in <module>
print(b1+b2)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'Book' and 'Book'

⚽ We can overload + operator to work with Book objects also. i.e Python supports
Operator Overloading.
⚽ For every operator Magic Methods are available. To overload any operator we have to
override that Method in our class.
⚽ Internally + operator is implemented by using add () method.This method is called
magic method for + operator. We have to override this method in our class.

Demo Program to Overload + Operator for Our Book Class Objects:

1) class Book:
2) def init (self,pages):
3) self.pages=pages
4)
5) def add (self,other):
6) return self.pages+other.pages
7)
8) b1=Book(100)
9) b2=Book(200)
10) print('The Total Number of Pages:',b1+b2)

Output: The Total Number of Pages: 300

The following is the list of operators and corresponding magic methods.

1) +  object. add (self,other)

2) -  object. sub (self,other)
3) * 
object. mul (self,other)
4) / 
 object. div (self,other)
5) // object. floordiv (self,other)

6) % object. mod (self,other)

7) **  object. pow (self,other)
8) +=  object. iadd (self,other)
9) -=  object. isub (self,other)
10) *=  object. imul (self,other)
11) /=  object. idiv (self,other)
12) //=  object. ifloordiv (self,other)

1) class Student:
2) def init (self,name,marks):
3) self.name=name
4) self.marks=marks
5) def gt (self,other):
6) return self.marks>other.marks
7) def le (self,other):
8) return self.marks<=other.marks
9)
10) print("10>20 =",10>20)
11) s1=Student("Durga",100)
12) s2=Student("Ravi",200)
13) print("s1>s2=",s1>s2)
14) print("s1<s2=",s1<s2)
15) print("s1<=s2=",s1<=s2)
16) print("s1>=s2=",s1>=s2)

Output
10>20 = False
s1>s2= False
s1<s2= True
s1<=s2= True
s1>=s2= False

Program to Overload Multiplication Operator to Work on Employee Objects:

1) class Employee:
2) def init (self,name,salary):
3) self.name=name
4) self.salary=salary
5) def mul (self,other):
6) return self.salary*other.days
7)

13) e=Employee('Durga',500)
14) t=TimeSheet('Durga',25)
15) print('This Month Salary:',e*t)

Output: This Month Salary: 12500

2)Method Overloading:
 If 2 methods having same name but different type of arguments then those methods
are said to be overloaded methods.
Eg: m1(int a)
m1(double d)

 But in Python Method overloading is not possible.

 If we are trying to declare multiple methods with same name and different number of
arguments then Python will always consider only last method.

Demo Program:
1) class Test:
2) def m1(self):
3) print('no-arg method')
4) def m1(self,a):
5) print('one-arg method')
6) def m1(self,a,b):
7) print('two-arg method')
8)
9) t=Test()
10) #t.m1()
11) #t.m1(10)
12) t.m1(10,20)

Output: two-arg method

In the above program python will consider only last method.

How we can handle Overloaded Method Requirements in Python:

Most of the times, if method with variable number of arguments required then we can
handle with default arguments or with variable number of argument methods.

3)Constructor Overloading:
⚽ Constructor overloading is not possible in Python.
⚽ If we define multiple constructors then the last constructor will be considered.

1) class Test:
2) def init (self):
3) print('No-Arg Constructor')
4)

3) Overriding

Method Overriding
⚽ What ever members available in the parent class are bydefault available to the child
class through inheritance. If the child class not satisfied with parent class
implementation then child class is allowed to redefine that method in the child class
based on its requirement. This concept is called overriding.
⚽ Overriding concept applicable for both methods and constructors.

Demo Program for Method Overriding:

1) class P:
2) def property(self):
3) print('Gold+Land+Cash+Power')
4) def marry(self):
5) print('Appalamma')
6) class C(P):
7) def marry(self):
8) print('Katrina Kaif')
9)
10) c=C()
11) c.property()
12) c.marry()

Output
Gold+Land+Cash+Power
Katrina Kaif

From Overriding method of child class,we can call parent class method also by using
super() method.

1) class P:
2) def property(self):
3) print('Gold+Land+Cash+Power')

9) print('Katrina Kaif')
10)
11) c=C()
12) c.property()
13) c.marry()

Output
Gold+Land+Cash+Power
Appalamma
Katrina Kaif

Demo Program for Constructor Overriding:

1) class P:
2) def init (self):
3) print('Parent Constructor')
4)
5) class C(P):
6) def init (self):
7) print('Child Constructor')
8)
9) c=C()

Output: Child Constructor

In the above example,if child class does not contain constructor then parent class
constructor will be executed

From child class constuctor we can call parent class constructor by using super() method.

Demo Program to call Parent Class Constructor by using super():

1) class Person:
2) def init (self,name,age):
3) self.name=name
4) self.age=age
5)
6) class Employee(Person):

Abstract Method:
 Sometimes we don't know about implementation, still we can declare a method. Such
types of methods are called abstract methods.i.e abstract method has only
declaration but not implementation.
 In python we can declare abstract method by using @abstractmethod decorator
as follows.

 @abstractmethod
 def m1(self): pass

 @abstractmethod decorator present in abc module. Hence compulsory we

should import abc module,otherwise we will get error.
 abc  abstract base class module

1) class Test:
2) @abstractmethod
3) def m1(self):
4) pass

NameError: name 'abstractmethod' is not defined

Eg:

1) from abc import *

Child classes are responsible to provide implemention for parent class abstract methods.

Abstract class:
Some times implementation of a class is not complete,such type of partially
implementation classes are called abstract classes. Every abstract class in Python should
be derived from ABC class which is present in abc module.

Case-1:

Conclusion: If a class contains atleast one abstract method and if we are extending ABC
class then instantiation is not possible.

"abstract class with abstract method instantiation is not possible"

Parent class abstract methods should be implemented in the child classes. Otherwise we
cannot instantiate child class.If we are not creating child class object then we won't get
any error.

Concreate class vs Abstract Class vs Inteface:
1) If we dont know anything about implementation just we have
requirement specification then we should go for interface.
2) If we are talking about implementation but not completely then we should go
for abstract class. (partially implemented class).
3) If we are talking about implementation completely and ready to provide service
then we should go for concrete class.

1) from abc import *

Public, Protected and Private Attributes:

By default every attribute is public. We can access from anywhere either within the class
or from outside of the class.
Eg: name = 'durga'

Protected attributes can be accessed within the class anywhere but from outside of the
class only in child classes. We can specify an attribute as protected by prefexing with _
symbol.

Syntax: _variablename = value

Eg: _name='durga'

But is is just convention and in reality does not exists protected attributes.

private attributes can be accessed only within the class.i.e from outside of the class we
cannot access. We can declare a variable as private explicitly by prefexing with 2
underscore symbols.

syntax: variablename=value

Eg: name='durga'

1) class Test:
2) x=10
3) _y=20
4)______z=30
5) def m1(self):
6) print(Test.x)

9)
10) t=Test()
11) t.m1()

How to Access Private Variables from Outside of the Class:

We cannot access private variables directly from outside of the class.
But we can access indirectly as follows objectreference._classname variablename

1) class Test:
2) def init (self):
3) self____=10
4)

 5) t=Test()
6) print(t._Test____)#10

str () method:
 Whenever we are printing any object reference internally str () method will be
called which is returns string in the following format
< main .classname object at 0x022144B0>

 To return meaningful string representation we have to override str () method.

1) class Student:
2) def init (self,name,rollno):
3) self.name=name
4) self.rollno=rollno
5)
6) def str (self):
7) return 'This is Student with Name:{} and Rollno:{}'.format(self.name,self.rollno)
8)
9) s1=Student('Durga',101)
10) s2=Student('Ravi',102)
11) print(s1)
12) print(s2)

Output without Overriding str():

< main .Student object at 0x022144B0>
< main .Student object at 0x022144D0>

Output with Overriding str():

This is Student with Name: Durga and Rollno: 101
This is Student with Name: Ravi and Rollno: 102

Difference between str() and repr()

OR
Difference between str () and repr ()
 str() internally calls str () function and hence functionality of both is same.
 Similarly,repr() internally calls repr () function and hence functionality of both is
same.
 str() returns a string containing a nicely printable representation object.
 The main purpose of str() is for readability.It may not possible to convert result
string to original object.

But repr() returns a string containing a printable representation of object.

The main goal of repr() is unambigouous. We can convert result string to original object by
using eval() function,which may not possible in str() function.

In any programming language there are 2 types of errors are possible.

1) Syntax Errors
2) Runtime Errors

1)Syntax Errors:
The errors which occur because of invalid syntax are called syntax errors.

Eg 1:
x = 10
if x == 10
print("Hello")

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Eg 2:
print "Hello"
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Note: Programmer is responsible to correct these syntax errors. Once all syntax errors
are corrected then only program execution will be started.

2)Runtime Errors:
 Also known as exceptions.
 While executing the program if something goes wrong because of end user input or
programming logic or memory problems etc then we will get Runtime Errors.

Eg:
1) print(10/0)  ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
2) print(10/"ten")  TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'int' and 'str'

3) x = int(input("Enter Number:"))
print(x)

D:\Python_classes>py test.py
Enter Number:ten
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'ten'

Note: Exception Handling concept applicable for Runtime Errors but not for syntax errors

 What is Exception?
An unwanted and unexpected event that disturbs normal flow of program is called
exception.

Eg:
 ZeroDivisionError
 TypeError
 ValueError
 FileNotFoundError
 EOFError
 SleepingError
 TyrePuncturedError

It is highly recommended to handle exceptions. The main objective of exception handling is

Graceful Termination of the program (i.e we should not block our resources and we
should not miss anything)

Exception handling does not mean repairing exception. We have to define alternative way to
continue rest of the program normally.

Eg: For example our programming requirement is reading data from remote file locating at
London. At runtime if London file is not available then the program should not be
terminated abnormally. We have to provide local file to continue rest of the program
normally. This way of defining alternative is nothing but exception handling.

try:
Read Data from Remote File locating at London.
except FileNotFoundError:
use local file and continue rest of the program normally

Q. What is an Exception?
Q. What is the purpose of Exception Handling?
Q. What is the meaning of Exception Handling?

Default Exception Handing in Python:

 Every exception in Python is an object. For every exception type the corresponding
classes are available.
 Whevever an exception occurs PVM will create the corresponding exception object
and will check for handling code. If handling code is not available then Python
interpreter terminates the program abnormally and prints corresponding
exception information to the console.
 The rest of the program won't be executed.

 Every Exception in Python is a class. Error
 All exception classes are child classes of BaseException.i.e every exception class
extends BaseException either directly or indirectly. Hence BaseException acts as root
for Python Exception Hierarchy.
 Most of the times being a programmer we have to concentrate Exception and its
child classes.

 Customized Exception Handling by using try-except:
 It is highly recommended to handle exceptions.
 The code which may raise exception is called risky code and we have to take risky code
inside try block. The corresponding handling code we have to take inside except block.
try:
Risky Code
except XXX:
Handling code/Alternative Code

Without try-except:

1) print("stmt-1")
2) print(10/0)
3) print("stmt-3")

Output
stmt-1
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
Abnormal termination/Non-Graceful Termination

With try-except:

1) print("stmt-1")
2) try:
3) print(10/0)
4) except ZeroDivisionError:
5) print(10/2)
6) print("stmt-3")

Output
stmt-1
5.0
stmt-3
Normal termination/Graceful Termination

Case-1: If there is no exception
1,2,3,5 and Normal Termination

Case-2: If an exception raised at stmt-2 and corresponding except block matched

1,4,5 Normal Termination

Case-3: If an exception rose at stmt-2 and corresponding except block not matched
1, Abnormal Termination

Case-4: If an exception rose at stmt-4 or at stmt-5 then it is always abnormal

termination.

Conclusions:
1) Within the try block if anywhere exception raised then rest of the try block won’t be
executed eventhough we handled that exception. Hence we have to take only risky
code inside try block and length of the try block should be as less as possible.
2) In addition to try block, there may be a chance of raising exceptions inside except and
finally blocks also.
3) If any statement which is not part of try block raises an exception then it is always
abnormal termination.

How to Print Exception Information:

try:

1) print(10/0)
2) except ZeroDivisionError as msg:
3) print("exception raised and its description is:",msg)

Output exception raised and its description is: division by zero

try with Multiple except Blocks:

The way of handling exception is varied from exception to exception.Hence for every
exception type a seperate except block we have to provide. i.e try with multiple except
blocks is possible and recommended to use.

Eg:
try:
-------
-------
-------
except ZeroDivisionError:

finally Block:
☕ It is not recommended to maintain clean up code(Resource Deallocating Code or
Resource Releasing code) inside try block because there is no guarentee for the
execution of every statement inside try block always.
☕ It is not recommended to maintain clean up code inside except block, because if
there is no exception then except block won't be executed.
☕ Hence we required some place to maintain clean up code which should be executed
always irrespective of whether exception raised or not raised and whether exception
handled or not handled. Such type of best place is nothing but finally block.
☕ Hence the main purpose of finally block is to maintain clean up code.

General Risky code we have to take inside outer try block and too much risky code we
have to take inside inner try block. Inside Inner try block if an exception raised then inner
except block is responsible to handle. If it is unable to handle then outer except block is
responsible to handle.

finally:

Eg:
try:
print("try")
print(10/0)  1
except:
print("except")
else:
print("else")
finally:
print("finally")

If we comment line-1 then else block will be executed b'z there is no exception inside try.
In this case the output is:
try
else
finally

If we are not commenting line-1 then else block won't be executed b'z there is exception
inside try block. In this case output is:
try
except
finally

Various possible Combinations of try-except-else-finally:

1) Whenever we are writing try block, compulsory we should write except or finally
block.i.e without except or finally block we cannot write try block.
2) Wheneever we are writing except block, compulsory we should write try block. i.e
except without try is always invalid.
3) Whenever we are writing finally block, compulsory we should write try block. i.e
finally without try is always invalid.
4) We can write multiple except blocks for the same try,but we cannot write multiple
finally blocks for the same try
5) Whenever we are writing else block compulsory except block should be there.
i.e without except we cannot write else block.
6) In try-except-else-finally order is important.
7) We can define try-except-else-finally inside try, except, else and finally blocks. i.e
nesting of try-except-else-finally is always possible.

Types of Exceptions:
In Python there are 2 types of exceptions are possible.
1) Predefined Exceptions
2) User Definded Exceptions

1)Predefined Exceptions:
 Also known as inbuilt exceptions.
 The exceptions which are raised automatically by Python virtual machine whenver a
particular event occurs are called pre defined exceptions.

Eg 1: Whenever we are trying to perform Division by zero, automatically Python will

raise ZeroDivisionError.
print(10/0)

101 DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet,

Hyderabad - 500038,
 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
 Eg 2: Whenever we are trying to convert input value to int type and if input value is
not int value then Python will raise ValueError automatically
x=int("ten")  ValueError

2)User Defined Exceptions:

 Also known as Customized Exceptions or Programatic Exceptions
 Some time we have to define and raise exceptions explicitly to indicate that something
goes wrong, such type of exceptions are called User Defined Exceptions or Customized
Exceptions
 Programmer is responsible to define these exceptions and Python not having any idea
about these. Hence we have to raise explicitly based on our requirement by using
"raise" keyword.
Eg:
 InSufficientFundsException
 InvalidInputException
 TooYoungException
 TooOldException

How to Define and Raise Customized Exceptions:

Every exception in Python is a class that extends Exception class either directly or
indirectly.

Syntax:
class classname(predefined exception class name):
def init (self,arg):
self.msg=arg

1) class TooYoungException(Exception):
2) def init (self,arg):
3) self.msg=arg

TooYoungException is our class name which is the child class of Exception

We can raise exception by using raise keyword as follows

raise TooYoungException("message")

1) class TooYoungException(Exception):
2) def init (self,arg):
3) self.msg=arg
4)
5) class TooOldException(Exception):
6) def init (self,arg):
7) self.msg=arg
8)

 9) age=int(input("Enter Age:"))
10) if age>60:
11) raise TooYoungException("Plz wait some more time you will get best match soon!!!")
12) elif age<18:
13) raise TooOldException("Your age already crossed marriage age...no chance of
getting marriage")
14) else:
15) print("You will get match details soon by email!!!")

D:\Python_classes>py test.py
Enter Age:90
main .TooYoungException: Plz wait some more time you will get best match soon!!!

D:\Python_classes>py test.py
Enter Age:12
main .TooOldException: Your age already crossed marriage age...no chance of g
etting marriage

D:\Python_classes>py test.py
Enter Age:27
You will get match details soon by email!!!

Note: raise keyword is best suitable for customized exceptions but not for pre defined
exceptions

 As the part of programming requirement, we have to store our data permanently for
future purpose. For this requirement we should go for files.
 Files are very common permanent storage areas to store our data.

Types of Files:
There are 2 types of files

1) Text Files:
Usually we can use text files to store character data
Eg: abc.txt

2) Binary Files:
Usually we can use binary files to store binary data like images,video files, audio files
etc...

Opening a File:
 Before performing any operation (like read or write) on the file,first we have to open
that file.For this we should use Python's inbuilt function open()
 But at the time of open, we have to specify mode,which represents the purpose of
opening file.
f = open(filename, mode)

The allowed modes in Python are

1) r  open an existing file for read operation. The file pointer is positioned at the
beginning of the file.If the specified file does not exist then we will get
FileNotFoundError.This is default mode.

2) w  open an existing file for write operation. If the file already contains some data
then it will be overridden. If the specified file is not already avaialble then this mode
will create that file.

3) a  open an existing file for append operation. It won't override existing data.If the
specified file is not already avaialble then this mode will create a new file.

4) r+  To read and write data into the file. The previous data in the file will not be
deleted.The file pointer is placed at the beginning of the file.
5) w+  To write and read data. It will override existing data.

6) a+  To append and read data from the file.It wont override existing data.

7) x  To open a file in exclusive creation mode for write operation. If the file already
exists then we will get FileExistsError.

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
Note: All the above modes are applicable for text files. If the above modes suffixed with 'b'
then these represents for binary files.

Eg: rb,wb,ab,r+b,w+b,a+b,xb

f = open("abc.txt","w")
We are opening abc.txt file for writing data.

Closing a File:
After completing our operations on the file, it is highly recommended to close the file. For
this we have to use close() function.
f.close()

Various Properties of File Object:

Once we opend a file and we got file object, we can get various details related to that file by
using its properties.
 name  Name of opened file
 mode  Mode in which the file is opened
 closed  Returns boolean value indicates that file is closed or not
 readable() Retruns boolean value indicates that whether file is readable or not
 writable() Returns boolean value indicates that whether file is writable or not.

1) f=open("abc.txt",'w')
2) print("File Name: ",f.name)
3) print("File Mode: ",f.mode)
4) print("Is File Readable: ",f.readable())
5) print("Is File Writable: ",f.writable())
6) print("Is File Closed : ",f.closed)
7) f.close()
8) print("Is File Closed : ",f.closed)

Output D:\Python_classes>py
test.py File Name: abc.txt
File Mode: w
Is File Readable: False Is
File Writable: True Is
File Closed: False
Is File Closed: True

Writing Data to Text Files:
We can write character data to the text files by using the following 2 methods.
1) write(str)
2) writelines(list of lines)

1) f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2) f.write("Durga\n")
3) f.write("Software\n")
4) f.write("Solutions\n")
5) print("Data written to the file successfully")
6) f.close()

abcd.txt:
Durga
Software
Solutions

Note: In the above program, data present in the file will be overridden everytime if we
run the program. Instead of overriding if we want append operation then we should open
the file as follows.

f = open("abcd.txt","a")
Eg 2:

1) f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2) list=["sunny\n","bunny\n","vinny\n","chinny"]
3) f.writelines(list)
4) print("List of lines written to the file successfully")
5) f.close()

abcd.txt:
sunny
bunny
vinny
chinny

Note: While writing data by using write() methods, compulsory we have to provide line seperator(\
n), otherwise total data should be written to a single line.

Reading Character Data from Text Files:
We can read character data from text file by using the following read methods.

 read() To read total data from the file

 read(n)  To read 'n' characters from the file
 readline() To read only one line
 readlines() To read all lines into a list

Eg 1: To read total data from the file

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) data=f.read()
3) print(data)
4) f.close()

Output
sunny
bunny
chinny
vinny

Eg 2: To read only first 10 characters:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) data=f.read(10)
3) print(data)
4) f.close()

Output
sunny
bunn

Eg 3: To read data line by line:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) line1=f.readline()
3) print(line1,end='')
4) line2=f.readline()
5) print(line2,end='')
6) line3=f.readline()
7) print(line3,end='')
8) f.close()

Output
sunny
bunny
chinny

Eg 4: To read all lines into list:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) lines=f.readlines()
3) for line in lines:
4) print(line,end='')
5) f.close()

Output
sunny
bunny
chinny
vinny

Eg 5:

1) f=open("abc.txt","r")
2) print(f.read(3))
3) print(f.readline())
4) print(f.read(4))
5) print("Remaining data")
6) print(f.read())

Output
sun
ny

bunn
Remaining
data y
chinny
vinny

The with Statement:

 The with statement can be used while opening a file.We can use this to group
file operation statements within a block.
 The advantage of with statement is it will take care closing of file,after completing all
operations automatically even in the case of exceptions also, and we are not required
to close explicitly.

 We can use tell() method to return current position of the cursor(file pointer) from
beginning of the file. [ can you plese telll current cursor position]
 The position(index) of first character in files is zero just like string index.

1) f=open("abc.txt","r")
2) print(f.tell())
3) print(f.read(2))
4) print(f.tell())
5) print(f.read(3))
6) print(f.tell())

abc.txt:
sunny
bunny
chinny
vinny

Output:
0
su 2
nny 5

seek():
We can use seek() method to move cursor (file pointer) to specified location. [Can
you please seek the cursor to a particular location]
f.seek(offset, fromwhere)  offset represents the number of positions

How to check a particular File exists OR not?

We can use os library to get information about files in our computer.
os module has path sub module,which contains isFile() function to check whether a
particular file exists or not?
os.path.isfile(fname)

Q) Write a Program to check whether the given File exists OR not. If it is

available then print its content?

1) import os,sys
2) fname=input("Enter File Name: ")
3) if os.path.isfile(fname):
4) print("File exists:",fname)
5) f=open(fname,"r")
6) else:

Handling Binary Data:

It is very common requirement to read or write binary data like images,video files,audio
files etc.

Q) Program to read Image File and write to a New Image File?

1) f1=open("rossum.jpg","rb")
2) f2=open("newpic.jpg","wb")
3) bytes=f1.read()
4) f2.write(bytes)
5) print("New Image is available with the name: newpic.jpg")

Handling CSV Files:

⚽ CSV  Comma seperated values
⚽ As the part of programming, it is very common requirement to write and read data wrt
csv files. Python provides csv module to handle csv files.

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
Writing Data to CSV File:
1) import csv
2) with open("emp.csv","w",newline='') as f:
3) w=csv.writer(f) # returns csv writer object
4) w.writerow(["ENO","ENAME","ESAL","EADDR"])
5) n=int(input("Enter Number of Employees:"))
6) for i in range(n):
7) eno=input("Enter Employee No:")
8) ename=input("Enter Employee Name:")
9) esal=input("Enter Employee Salary:")
10) eaddr=input("Enter Employee Address:")
11) w.writerow([eno,ename,esal,eaddr])
12) print("Total Employees data written to csv file successfully")

Note: Observe the difference with newline attribute and without

with open("emp.csv","w",newline='') as f:
with open("emp.csv","w") as f:

Note: If we are not using newline attribute then in the csv file blank lines will be included
between data. To prevent these blank lines, newline attribute is required in Python-3,but
in Python-2 just we can specify mode as 'wb' and we are not required to use newline
attribute.

Reading Data from CSV File:

1) import csv
2) f=open("emp.csv",'r')
3) r=csv.reader(f) #returns csv reader object
4) data=list(r)
5) #print(data)
6) for line in data:
7) for word in line:
8) print(word,"\t",end='')

Zipping and Unzipping Files:
It is very common requirement to zip and unzip files.

The main advantages are:

1) To improve memory utilization
2) We can reduce transport time
3) We can improve performance.

To perform zip and unzip operations, Python contains one in-bulit module zip file.
This module contains a class: ZipFile

To Create Zip File:

We have to create ZipFile class object with name of the zip file, mode and constant
ZIP_DEFLATED. This constant represents we are creating zip file.
f = ZipFile("files.zip","w","ZIP_DEFLATED")

Once we create ZipFile object,we can add files by using write() method.
f.write(filename)

1) from zipfile import *

2) f=ZipFile("files.zip",'w',ZIP_DEFLATED)
3) f.write("file1.txt")
4) f.write("file2.txt")
5) f.write("file3.txt")
6) f.close()
7) print("files.zip file created successfully")

To perform unzip Operation:

We have to create ZipFile object as follows
f = ZipFile("files.zip","r",ZIP_STORED)

ZIP_STORED represents unzip operation. This is default value and hence we are not
required to specify.
Once we created ZipFile object for unzip operation, we can get all file names present in
that zip file by using namelist() method.
names = f.namelist()

1) from zipfile import *

2) f=ZipFile("files.zip",'r',ZIP_STORED)
3) names=f.namelist()
4) for name in names:
5) print( "File Name: ",name)

 6) print("The Content of this file is:")
7) f1=open(name,'r')
8) print(f1.read())
9) print()

Working with Directories:

It is very common requirement to perform operations for directories like
1) To know current working directory
2) To create a new directory
3) To remove an existing directory
4) To rename a directory
5) To list contents of the directory
etc...
To perform these operations, Python provides inbuilt module os,which contains several
functions to perform directory related operations.

Q1) To Know Current Working Directory

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()
print("Current Working Directory:",cwd)

Q2) To Create a Sub Directory in the Current Working Directory

import os
os.mkdir("mysub")
print("mysub directory created in cwd")

Q3) To Create a Sub Directory in mysub Directory

cwd
|-mysub
|-mysub2

import os
os.mkdir("mysub/mysub2")
print("mysub2 created inside mysub")

Note: Assume mysub already present in cwd.

Q4) To Create Multiple Directories like sub1 in that sub2 in that

sub3
import os
os.makedirs("sub1/sub2/sub3")
print("sub1 and in that sub2 and in that sub3 directories created")

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
Q5) To Remove a Directory
import os
os.rmdir("mysub/mysub2")
print("mysub2 directory deleted")

Q6) To Remove Multiple Directories in the Path

import os
os.removedirs("sub1/sub2/sub3")
print("All 3 directories sub1,sub2 and sub3 removed")

Q7) To Rename a Directory

import os
os.rename("mysub","newdir")
print("mysub directory renamed to newdir")

Q8) To know Contents of Directory

OS Module provides listdir() to list out the contents of the specified directory. It
won't display the contents of sub directory.

1) import os
2) print(os.listdir("."))

Output
D:\Python_classes>py test.py
['abc.py', 'abc.txt', 'abcd.txt', 'com', 'demo.py', 'durgamath.py', 'emp.csv', '
file1.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt', 'files.zip', 'log.txt', 'module1.py', 'myl
og.txt', 'newdir', 'newpic.jpg', 'pack1', 'rossum.jpg', 'test.py', ' pycache ']

 The above program display contents of current working directory but not contents
of sub directories.
 If we want the contents of a directory including sub directories then we should go
for walk() function.

Q9) To Know Contents of Directory including Sub Directories

 We have to use walk() function
 [Can you please walk in the directory so that we can aware all contents of that
directory]
 os.walk(path, topdown = True, onerror = None, followlinks = False)
 It returns an Iterator object whose contents can be displayed by using for loop

 path  Directory Path. cwd means .

 topdown = True  Travel from top to bottom

Hyderabad - 500038,
 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
  onerror = None  On error detected which function has to execute.
 followlinks = True  To visit directories pointed by symbolic links

Eg: To display all contents of Current working directory including sub directories:

1) import os
2) for dirpath,dirnames,filenames in os.walk('.'):
3) print("Current Directory Path:",dirpath)
4) print("Directories:",dirnames)
5) print("Files:",filenames)
6) print()

Output
Current Directory Path: .
Directories: ['com', 'newdir', 'pack1', ' pycache ']
Files: ['abc.txt', 'abcd.txt', 'demo.py', 'durgamath.py', 'emp.csv', 'file1.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.
txt', 'files.zip', 'log.txt', 'module1.py', 'mylog.txt', 'newpic.jpg', 'rossum.jpg', 'test.py']

Current Directory Path: .\com Directories:

['durgasoft', ' pycache '] Files:
['module1.py', ' init .py']
...

Note: To display contents of particular directory, we have to provide that directory name as
argument to walk() function.
os.walk("directoryname")

Q) What is the difference between listdir() and walk() Functions?

In the case of listdir(), we will get contents of specified directory but not sub directory
contents. But in the case of walk() function we will get contents of specified directory
and its sub directories also.

Running Other Programs from Python Program:

OS Module contains system() function to run programs and commands. It is
exactly same as system() function in C language.

os.system("commad string")
The argument is any command which is executing from DOS.

Eg:
import os os.system("dir
*.py") os.system("py
abc.py")

How to get Information about a File:
We can get statistics of a file like size, last accessed time,last modified time etc by using
stat() function of os module.
stats = os.stat("abc.txt")

The statistics of a file includes the following parameters:

1) st_mode  Protection Bits

2) st_ino  Inode number
3) st_dev  Device
4) st_nlink  Number of Hard Links
5) st_uid  User id of Owner
6) st_gid  Group id of Owner
7) st_size  Size of File in Bytes
8) st_atime  Time of Most Recent Access
9) st_mtime  Time of Most Recent Modification
10) st_ctime  Time of Most Recent Meta Data Change

Note: st_atime, st_mtime and st_ctime returns the time as number of milli seconds since
Jan 1st 1970, 12:00 AM. By using datetime module from timestamp() function, we can get
exact date and time.

Q) To Print all Statistics of File abc.txt

1) import os
2) stats=os.stat("abc.txt")
3) print(stats)

Output
os.stat_result(st_mode=33206, st_ino=844424930132788, st_dev=2657980798, st_nlin
k=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=0, st_size=22410, st_atime=1505451446, st_mtime=1505538999
, st_ctime=1505451446)

Q) To Print specified Properties

1) import os
2) from datetime import *
3) stats=os.stat("abc.txt")
4) print("File Size in Bytes:",stats.st_size)
5) print("File Last Accessed Time:",datetime.fromtimestamp(stats.st_atime))
6) print("File Last Modified Time:",datetime.fromtimestamp(stats.st_mtime))

Pickling and Unpickling of Objects:

 Sometimes we have to write total state of object to the file and we have to read total
object from the file.
 The process of writing state of object to the file is called pickling and the process
of reading state of an object from the file is called unpickling.
 We can implement pickling and unpickling by using pickle module of Python.
 pickle module contains dump() function to perform pickling. pickle.dump(object,file)
 pickle module contains load() function to perform unpickling obj=pickle.load(file)

pickling
pickle.dump
eno: 100 (e1, f)
ename: Durga
esal: 10000
eaddr: HYD
e1 eno: 100

Multi Tasking:
Executing several tasks simultaneously is the concept of multitasking.

There are 2 types of Multi Tasking

1) Process based Multi Tasking
2) Thread based Multi Tasking

1)Process based Multi Tasking:

Executing several tasks simmultaneously where each task is a seperate independent
process is called process based multi tasking.
Eg: while typing python program in the editor we can listen mp3 audio songs from
the same system. At the same time we can download a file from the internet. All
these taks are executing simultaneously and independent of each other. Hence it is
process based multi tasking.

This type of multi tasking is best suitable at operating system level.

2)Thread based MultiTasking:

 Executing several tasks simultaneously where each task is a seperate independent part
of the same program, is called Thread based multi tasking, and each independent part
is called a Thread.
 This type of multi tasking is best suitable at programmatic level.

Note: Whether it is process based or thread based, the main advantage of multi tasking is
to improve performance of the system by reducing response time.

The main important application areas of multi threading are:

1) To implement Multimedia graphics
2) To develop animations
3) To develop video games
4) To develop web and application
servers etc...

Note: Where ever a group of independent jobs are available, then it is highly
recommended to execute simultaneously instead of executing one by one.For such type of
cases we should go for Multi Threading.
 Python provides one inbuilt module "threading" to provide support for developing
threads. Hence developing multi threaded Programs is very easy in python.
 Every Python Program by default contains one thread which is nothing
but MainThread.

 Q) Program to print Name of Current executing Thread
1) import threading
2) print("Current Executing Thread:",threading.current_thread().getName())

Output: Current Executing Thread: MainThread

Note: threading module contains function current_thread() which returns the current
executing Thread object. On this object if we call getName() method then we will get
current executing thread name.

The ways of Creating Thread in Python:

We can create a thread in Python by using 3 ways
1) Creating a Thread without using any class
2) Creating a Thread by extending Thread class
3) Creating a Thread without extending Thread class

1)Creating a Thread without using any Class

1) from threading import *
2) def display():
3) for i in range(1,11):
4) print("Child Thread")
5) t=Thread(target=display) #creating Thread object
6) t.start() #starting of Thread
7) for i in range(1,11):
8) print("Main Thread")

If multiple threads present in our program, then we cannot expect execution order and
hence we cannot expect exact output for the multi threaded programs. B'z of this we
cannot provide exact output for the above program.It is varied from machine to machine
and run to run.

Note: Thread is a pre defined class present in threading module which can be used to create
our own Threads.

2)Creating a Thread by extending Thread Class

We have to create child class for Thread class. In that child class we have to override
run() method with our required job. Whenever we call start() method then
automatically run() method will be executed and performs our job.

7) t=Thread(target=obj.display)
8) t.start()

Setting and Getting Name of a Thread:

Every thread in python has name. It may be default name generated by Python or
Customized Name provided by programmer.

We can get and set name of thread by using the following Thread class methods.
t.getName()  Returns Name of Thread
t.setName(newName)  To set our own name

Note: Every Thread has implicit variable "name" to represent name of Thread.

1) from threading import *

2) print(current_thread().getName())
3) current_thread().setName("Pawan Kalyan")
4) print(current_thread().getName())
5) print(current_thread().name)

Output
MainThread

Summary of all methods related to threading module and Thread

Daemon Threads:
 The threads which are running in the background are called Daemon Threads.
 The main objective of Daemon Threads is to provide support for Non
Daemon Threads( like main thread)
Eg: Garbage Collector
 Whenever Main Thread runs with low memory, immediately PVM runs Garbage
Collector to destroy useless objects and to provide free memory,so that Main
Thread can continue its execution without having any memory problems.
 We can check whether thread is Daemon or not by using t.isDaemon() method
of Thread class or by using daemon property.

1) from threading import *

2) print(current_thread().isDaemon()) #False
3) print(current_thread().daemon) #False

 We can change Daemon nature by using setDaemon() method of Thread class.

t.setDaemon(True)

  But we can use this method before starting of Thread.i.e once thread
started,we cannot change its Daemon nature,otherwise we will get
 RuntimeException:cannot set daemon status of active thread.

1) from threading import *

2) print(current_thread().isDaemon())
3) current_thread().setDaemon(True)

RuntimeError: cannot set daemon status of active thread

Default Nature:
By default Main Thread is always non-daemon.But for the remaining threads Daemon nature
will be inherited from parent to child.i.e if the Parent Thread is Daemon then child thread
is also Daemon and if the Parent Thread is Non Daemon then ChildThread is also Non
Daemon.

1) from threading import *

2) def job():
3) print("Child Thread")
4) t=Thread(target=job)
5) print(t.isDaemon())#False
6) t.setDaemon(True)
7) print(t.isDaemon()) #True

Note: Main Thread is always Non-Daemon and we cannot change its Daemon Nature b'z it
is already started at the beginning only.

Whenever the last Non-Daemon Thread terminates automatically all Daemon Threads will be
terminated.

1) from threading import *

2) import time
3) def job():
4) for i in range(10):
5) print("Lazy Thread")
6) time.sleep(2)
7)
8) t=Thread(target=job)
9) #t.setDaemon(True)===>Line-1
10) t.start()
11) time.sleep(5)
12) print("End Of Main Thread")

In the above program if we comment Line-1 then both Main Thread and Child Threads are
Non Daemon and hence both will be executed until their completion.
In this case output is:

If we are not commenting Line-1 then Main Thread is Non-Daemon and Child Thread is

terminated. In this case output is

Lazy

Lazy Thread
End of Main Thread

inconsistency problems.

 We are getting irregular output b'z both threads are executing simultaneously wish()
function.
 To overcome this problem we should go for synchronization.
 In synchronization the threads will be executed one by one so that we can
overcome data inconsistency problems.
 Synchronization means at a time only one Thread

The main application areas of synchronization are

1) Online Reservation system
2) Funds Transfer from joint accounts
etc

In Python, we can implement synchronization by using the following

1) Lock
2) RLock
3) Semaphore

Synchronization By using Lock Concept:

 Locks are the most fundamental synchronization mechanism provided by
threading module.
 We can create Lock object as follows l = Lock()
 The Lock object can be hold by only one thread at a time.If any other thread
required the same lock then it will wait until thread releases lock. (Similar to
common wash rooms, public telephone booth etc)
 A Thread can acquire the lock by using acquire() Method l.acquire()
 A Thread can release the lock by using release() Method l.release()

Note: To call release() method compulsory thread should be owner of that lock.i.e
thread should has the lock already,otherwise we will get Runtime Exception saying
RuntimeError: release unlocked lock.

1) from threading import *

2) l=Lock()
3) #l.acquire()  1
4) l.release()

If we are commenting line-1 then we will get RuntimeError: release unlocked lock

1) from threading import *

2) import time

 3) l=Lock()
4) def wish(name):
5) l.acquire()
6) for i in range(10):
7) print("Good Evening:",end='')
8) time.sleep(2)
9) print(name)
10) l.release()
11)
12) t1=Thread(target=wish,args=("Dhoni",))
13) t2=Thread(target=wish,args=("Yuvraj",))
14) t3=Thread(target=wish,args=("Kohli",))
15) t1.start()
16) t2.start()
17 t3.start()
)
In the above program at a time only one thread is allowed to execute wish() method and
hence we will get regular output.

Problem with Simple Lock:

The standard Lock object does not care which thread is currently holding that lock.If the
lock is held and any thread attempts to acquire lock, then it will be blocked,even the same
thread is already holding that lock.

1) from threading import *

2) l=Lock()
3) print("Main Thread trying to acquire Lock")
4) l.acquire()
5) print("Main Thread trying to acquire Lock Again")
6) l.acquire()

Output
D:\python_classes>py test.py
Main Thread trying to acquire
Lock
Main Thread trying to acquire Lock Again
--
In the above Program main thread will be blocked b'z it is trying to acquire the lock second
time.

Note: To kill the blocking thread from windows command prompt we have to use
ctrl+break. Here ctrl+C won't work.

If the Thread calls recursive functions or nested access to resources,then the thread may
trying to acquire the same lock again and again,which may block our thread.

Hyderabad - 500038,
 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
Hence Traditional Locking mechanism won't work for executing recursive functions.

To overcome this problem, we should go for RLock(Reentrant Lock). Reentrant means

the thread can acquire the same lock again and again.If the lock is held by other threads
then only the thread will be blocked.

Reentrant facility is available only for owner thread but not for other threads.

1) from threading import *

2) l=RLock()
3) print("Main Thread trying to acquire Lock")
4) l.acquire()
5) print("Main Thread trying to acquire Lock Again")
6) l.acquire()

In this case Main Thread won't be Locked b'z thread can acquire the lock any number of
times.

This RLock keeps track of recursion level and hence for every acquire() call compulsory
release() call should be available. i.e the number of acquire() calls and release() calls
should be matched then only lock will be released.

Eg:
l=RLock()
l.acquire()
l.acquire()
l.release()
l.release()

After 2 release() calls only the Lock will be released.

Note:
1) Only owner thread can acquire the lock multiple times
2) The number of acquire() calls and release() calls should be matched.

Demo Program for Synchronization by using RLock:

1) from threading import *
2) import time
3) l=RLock()
4) def factorial(n):
5) l.acquire()
6) if n==0:
7) result=1

 8) else:
9) result=n*factorial(n-1)
10) l.release()
11) return result
12)
13) def results(n):
14) print("The Factorial of",n,"is:",factorial(n))
15)
16) t1=Thread(target=results,args=(5,))
17) t2=Thread(target=results,args=(9,))
18) t1.start()
19) t2.start()

Output:
The Factorial of 5 is: 120
The Factorial of 9 is: 362880

In the above program instead of RLock if we use normal Lock then the thread will be
blocked.

level.

Synchronization by using Semaphore:

☕ In the case of Lock and RLock, at a time only one thread is allowed to execute.
☕ Sometimes our requirement is at a time a particular number of threads are allowed
to access(like at a time 10 memebers are allowed to access database server,4
members are allowed to access Network connection etc).To handle this requirement
we cannot use Lock and RLock concepts and we should go for Semaphore concept.
☕ Semaphore can be used to limit the access to the shared resources with limited
capacity.
☕ Semaphore is advanced Synchronization Mechanism.

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
☕ We can create Semaphore object as follows s = Semaphore(counter)
☕ Here counter represents the maximum number of threads are allowed to access
simultaneously. The default value of counter is 1.
☕ Whenever thread executes acquire() method,then the counter value will be
decremented by 1 and if thread executes release() method then the counter value will
be incremented by 1.
☕ i.e for every acquire() call counter value will be decremented and for every release()
call counter value will be incremented.

Case-1: s = Semaphore()
In this case counter value is 1 and at a time only one thread is allowed to access. It is
exactly same as Lock concept.

Case-2: s = Semaphore(3)
In this case Semaphore object can be accessed by 3 threads at a time.The remaining
threads have to wait until releasing the semaphore.

1) from threading import *

2) import time
3) s=Semaphore(2)
4) def wish(name):
5) s.acquire()
6) for i in range(10):
7) print("Good Evening:",end='')
8) time.sleep(2)
9) print(name)
10) s.release()
11)
12) t1=Thread(target=wish,args=("Dhoni",))
13) t2=Thread(target=wish,args=("Yuvraj",))
14) t3=Thread(target=wish,args=("Kohli",))
15) t4=Thread(target=wish,args=("Rohit",))
16) t5=Thread(target=wish,args=("Pandya",))
17) t1.start()
18) t2.start()
19) t3.start()
20) t4.start()
21) t5.start()

In the above program at a time 2 threads are allowed to access semaphore and hence 2
threads are allowed to execute wish() function.

Bounded Semaphore:
Normal Semaphore is an unlimited semaphore which allows us to call release() method
any number of times to increment counter.The number of release() calls can exceed
the number of acquire() calls also.

1) from threading import *

2) s=Semaphore(2)
3) s.acquire()
4) s.acquire()
5) s.release()
6) s.release()
7) s.release()
8) s.release()
9) print("End")

☕ It is valid because in normal semaphore we can call release() any number of times.
☕ BounedSemaphore is exactly same as Semaphore except that the number of
release() calls should not exceed the number of acquire() calls,otherwise we will get
ValueError: Semaphore released too many times

1) from threading import *

2) s=BoundedSemaphore(2)
3) s.acquire()
4) s.acquire()
5) s.release()
6) s.release()
7) s.release()
8) s.release()
9) print("End")

ValueError: Semaphore released too many times

It is invalid b'z the number of release() calls should not exceed the number of acquire()
calls in BoundedSemaphore.

Note: To prevent simple programming mistakes, it is recommended to use

BoundedSemaphore over normal Semaphore.

Difference between Lock and Semaphore:

At a time Lock object can be acquired by only one thread, but Semaphore object can be
acquired by fixed number of threads specified by counter value.

Conclusion:
The main advantage of synchronization is we can overcome data inconsistency
problems.But the main disadvantage of synchronization is it increases waiting time of
threads and creates performance problems. Hence if there is no specific requirement then
it is not recommended to use synchronization.

Inter Thread Communication:

☕ Some times as the part of programming requirement, threads are required to
communicate with each other. This concept is nothing but interthread communication.
☕ Eg: After producing items Producer thread has to communicate with Consumer thread
to notify about new item.Then consumer thread can consume that new item.
☕ In Python, we can implement interthread communication by using the following ways
1) Event
2) Condition
3) Queue
etc

Inter Thread Communication by using Event Objects:

☕ Event object is the simplest communication mechanism between the threads. One
thread signals an event and other thereds wait for it.
☕ We can create Event object as follows...
☕ event = threading.Event()
☕ Event manages an internal flag that can set() or clear()
☕ Threads can wait until event set.

Methods of Event Class:

1) set()  internal flag value will become True and it represents GREEN signal for all
waiting threads.
2) clear()  inernal flag value will become False and it represents RED signal for all
waiting threads.
3) isSet()  This method can be used whether the event is set or not
4) wait()|wait(seconds)  Thread can wait until event is set

Pseudo Code:
event = threading.Event()
#consumer thread has to wait until event is set
event.wait()
#producer thread can set or clear event
event.set()
event.clear()

1) from threading import *

2) import time
3) def trafficpolice():
4) while True:
5) time.sleep(10)
6) print("Traffic Police Giving GREEN Signal")
7) event.set()
8) time.sleep(20)
9) print("Traffic Police Giving RED Signal")
10) event.clear()
11) def driver():
12) num=0
13) while True:
14) print("Drivers waiting for GREEN Signal")
15) event.wait()
16) print("Traffic Signal is GREEN...Vehicles can move")
17) while event.isSet():

 18) num=num+1
19) print("Vehicle No:",num,"Crossing the Signal")
20) time.sleep(2)
21) print("Traffic Signal is RED...Drivers have to wait")
22) event=Event()
23) t1=Thread(target=trafficpolice)
24) t2=Thread(target=driver)
25) t1.start()
26) t2.start()

In the above program driver thread has to wait until Trafficpolice thread sets event.ie until
giving GREEN signal.Once Traffic police thread sets event(giving GREEN signal),vehicles can
cross the signal. Once traffic police thread clears event (giving RED Signal)then the driver
thread has to wait.

Inter Thread Communication by using Condition Object:

☕ Condition is the more advanced version of Event object for interthread
communication.A condition represents some kind of state change in the application
like producing item or consuming item. Threads can wait for that condition and
threads can be notified once condition happend.i.e Condition object allows one or
more threads to wait until notified by another thread.
☕ Condition is always associated with a lock (ReentrantLock).
☕ A condition has acquire() and release() methods that call the corresponding methods
of the associated lock.
☕ We can create Condition object as follows condition = threading.Condition()

Methods of Condition:
1) acquire()  To acquire Condition object before producing or consuming items.i.e
thread acquiring internal lock.

2) release()  To release Condition object after producing or consuming items. i.e thread
releases internal lock

3) wait()|wait(time)  To wait until getting Notification or time expired

4) notify()  To give notification for one waiting thread

5) notifyAll()  To give notification for all waiting threads

 Case Study:
The producing thread needs to acquire the Condition before producing item to the resource
and notifying the consumers.

#Producer Thread
...generate item..
condition.acquire()
...add item to the resource...
condition.notify()#signal that a new item is available(notifyAll())
condition.release()

The Consumer must acquire the Condition and then it can consume items from the resource

#Consumer Thread
condition.acquire()
condition.wait()
consume item
condition.release()

Demo Program-1:

1) from threading import *

2) def consume(c):
3) c.acquire()
4) print("Consumer waiting for updation")
5) c.wait()
6) print("Consumer got notification & consuming the item")
7) c.release()
8)
9) def produce(c):
10) c.acquire()
11) print("Producer Producing Items")
12) print("Producer giving Notification")
13) c.notify()
14) c.release()
15)
16) c=Condition()
17) t1=Thread(target=consume,args=(c,))
18) t2=Thread(target=produce,args=(c,))
19) t1.start()
20) t2.start()

In the above program Consumer thread expecting updation and hence it is responsible to
call wait() method on Condition object.
Producer thread performing updation and hence it is responsible to call notify() or
notifyAll() on Condition object.

Inter Tread Communication by using Queue:

☕ Queues Concept is the most enhanced Mechanism for interthread communication and
to share data between threads.
☕ Queue internally has Condition and that Condition has Lock.Hence whenever we are
using Queue we are not required to worry about Synchronization.
☕ If we want to use Queues first we should import queue module import queue
☕ We can create Queue object as follows q = queue.Queue()

Important Methods of Queue:

1) put(): Put an item into the queue.
2) get(): Remove and return an item from the queue.

Producer Thread uses put() method to insert data in the queue. Internally this method has
logic to acquire the lock before inserting data into queue. After inserting data lock will be
released automatically.

put() method also checks whether the queue is full or not and if queue is full then the
Producer thread will entered in to waiting state by calling wait() method internally.

Consumer Thread uses get() method to remove and get data from the queue. Internally
this method has logic to acquire the lock before removing data from the queue.Once
removal completed then the lock will be released automatically.

If the queue is empty then consumer thread will entered into waiting state by calling
wait() method internally.Once queue updated with data then the thread will be notified
automatically.

Note: The Queue Module takes care of locking for us which is a great Advantage.

1) from threading import *

2) import time
3) import random
4) import queue
5) def produce(q):
6) while True:
7) item=random.randint(1,100)
8) print("Producer Producing Item:",item)
9) q.put(item)

 10) print("Producer giving Notification")
11) time.sleep(5)
12) def consume(q):
13) while True:
14) print("Consumer waiting for updation")
15) print("Consumer consumed the item:",q.get())
16) time.sleep(5)
17)
18) q=queue.Queue()
19) t1=Thread(target=consume,args=(q,))
20) t2=Thread(target=produce,args=(q,))
21) t1.start()
22) t2.start()

Output
Consumer waiting for updation
Producer Producing Item: 58
Producer giving Notification
Consumer consumed the item: 58

Types of Queues:
Python Supports 3 Types of Queues.

1) FIFO Queue:
q = queue.Queue()
This is Default Behaviour. In which order we put items in the queue, in the same order
the items will come out (FIFO-First In First Out).

1) import queue
2) q=queue.Queue()
3) q.put(10)
4) q.put(5)
5) q.put(20)
6) q.put(15)
7) while not q.empty():
8) print(q.get(),end=' ')

Output: 10 5 20 15

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
2) LIFO Queue:
The removal will be happend in the reverse order of Insertion (Last In First Out)

1) import queue
2) q=queue.LifoQueue()
3) q.put(10)
4) q.put(5)
5) q.put(20)
6) q.put(15)
7) while not q.empty():
8) print(q.get(),end=' ')

Output: 15 20 5 10

3) Priority Queue:
The elements will be inserted based on some priority order.

1) import queue
2) q=queue.PriorityQueue()
3) q.put(10)
4) q.put(5)
5) q.put(20)
6) q.put(15)
7) while not q.empty():
8) print(q.get(),end=' ')

Output: 5 10 15 20

Eg 2: If the data is non-numeric, then we have to provide our data in the form of tuple.
(x,y)
x is priority
y is our element

1) import queue
2) q=queue.PriorityQueue()
3) q.put((1,"AAA"))
4) q.put((3,"CCC"))
5) q.put((2,"BBB"))
6) q.put((4,"DDD"))
7) while not q.empty():
8) print(q.get()[1],end=' ')

Output: AAA BBB CCC DDD

Good Programming Practices with usage of Locks:
Case-1:
It is highly recommended to write code of releasing locks inside finally block.The
advantage is lock will be released always whether exception raised or not raised and
whether handled or not handled.

l = threading.Lock()
l.acquire()
try:
perform required safe
operations finally:
l.release()

Demo Program:
1) from threading import *
2) import time
3) l=Lock()
4) def wish(name):
5) l.acquire()
6) try:
7) for i in range(10):
8) print("Good Evening:",end='')
9) time.sleep(2)
10) print(name)
11) finally:
12) l.release()
13)
14) t1=Thread(target=wish,args=("Dhoni",))
15) t2=Thread(target=wish,args=("Yuvraj",))
16) t3=Thread(target=wish,args=("Kohli",))
17) t1.start()
18) t2.start()
19 t3.start()
)
Case-2:
 It is highly recommended to acquire lock by using with statement. The main
advantage of with statement is the lock will be released automatically once control
reaches end of with block and we are not required to release explicitly.
 This is exactly same as usage of with statement for files.

 Example for File:
with open('demo.txt','w') as f:
f.write("Hello...")

Example for Lock:

lock = threading.Lock() with
lock:
perform required safe operations lock
will be released automatically

Demo Program:
1) from threading import *
2) import time
3) lock=Lock()
4) def wish(name):
5) with lock:
6) for i in range(10):
7) print("Good Evening:",end='')
8) time.sleep(2)
9) print(name)
10) t1=Thread(target=wish,args=("Dhoni",))
11) t2=Thread(target=wish,args=("Yuvraj",))
12) t3=Thread(target=wish,args=("Kohli",))
13) t1.start()
14) t2.start()
15) t3.start()

Q) What is the Advantage of using with Statement to acquire a Lock in

Threading?
Lock will be released automatically once control reaches end of with block and we are not
required to release explicitly.

Note: We can use with statement in multithreading for the following cases:

1) Lock
2) RLock
3) Semaphore
4) Condition

Storage Areas
As the Part of our Applications, we required to store our Data like Customers Information,
Billing Information, Calls Information etc.

To store this Data, we required Storage Areas. There are 2 types of Storage Areas.

1) Temporary Storage Areas

2) Permanent Storage Areas

1) Temporary Storage Areas:

 These are the Memory Areas where Data will be stored
temporarily. Eg: Python objects like List, Tuple, Dictionary.
 Once Python program completes its execution then these objects will be
destroyed automatically and data will be lost.

2) Permanent Storage Areas:

 Also known as Persistent Storage Areas. Here we can store Data
permanently. Eg: File Systems, Databases, Data warehouses, Big Data
Technologies etc

File Systems:
File Systems can be provided by Local operating System. File Systems are best suitable to
store very less Amount of Information.

Limitations:
1) We cannot store huge Amount of Information.
2) There is no Query Language support and hence operations will become very complex.
3) There is no Security for Data.
4) There is no Mechanism to prevent duplicate Data. Hence there may be a chance of
Data Inconsistency Problems.

To overcome the above Problems of File Systems, we should go for Databases.

Databases:
1) We can store Huge Amount of Information in the Databases.
2) Query Language Support is available for every Database and hence we can
perform Database Operations very easily.
3) To access Data present in the Database, compulsory username and pwd must
be required. Hence Data is secured.
4) Inside Database Data will be stored in the form of Tables. While developing Database
Table Schemas, Database Admin follow various Normalization Techniques and can
implement various Constraints like Unique Key Constrains, Primary Key Constraints etc
which prevent Data Duplication. Hence there is no chance of Data Inconsistency Problems.

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
Limitations of Databases:
1) Database cannot hold very Huge Amount of Information like Terabytes of Data.
2) Database can provide support only for Structured Data (Tabular Data OR
Relational Data) and cannot provide support for Semi Structured Data (like XML Files)
and Unstructured Data (like Video Files, Audio Files, Images etc)

To overcome these Problems we should go for more Advanced Storage Areas like Big Data
Technologies, Data warehouses etc.

Python Database Programming:

 Sometimes as the part of Programming requirement we have to connect to the
database and we have to perform several operations like creating tables, inserting
data, updating data, deleting data, selecting data etc.
 We can use SQL Language to talk to the database and we can use Python to send those
SQL commands to the database.
 Python provides inbuilt support for several databases like Oracle, MySql, SqlServer,
GadFly, sqlite, etc.
 Python has seperate module for each database.
Eg: cx_Oralce module for communicating with Oracle database
pymssql module for communicating with Microsoft Sql Server

Standard Steps for Python database Programming:

1) Import database specific module
Eg: import cx_Oracle

2) Establish Connection between Python Program and database.

We can create this Connection object by using connect() function of the module. con =
cx_Oracle.connect(datbase information)
Eg: con = cx_Oracle.connect('scott/tiger@localhost')

3) To execute our sql queries and to hold results some special object is required, which is
nothing but Cursor object. We can create Cursor object by using cursor() method.
cursor = con.cursor()

4) Execute SQL Queries By using Cursor object. For this we can use the following methods
⚽ execute(sqlquery)  To execute a Single SQL Query
⚽ executescript(sqlqueries)  To execute a String of SQL Queries seperated by semi-
colon ';'
⚽ executemany()  To execute a Parameterized Query.
Eg: cursor.execute("select * from employees")

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
5) Commit OR Rollback changes based on our requirement in the case of DML
Queries (insert|update|delete)

commit()  Saves the changes to the database

rollback()  rolls all temporary changes back

6) Fetch the result from the Cursor object in the case of select queries
fetchone()  To fetch only one row
fetchall()  To fetch all rows and it returns a list of rows
fecthmany(n)  To fetch first n rows

Eg 1: data = cursor.fetchone()
print(data)

Eg 2: data =
cursor.fetchall() for
row in data:
print(row)

7) Close the Resources

After completing our operations it is highly recommended to close the resources in the
reverse order of their opening by using close() methods.
cursor.close()
con.close()

Note: The following is the list of all important methods which can be used for python
database programming.

⚽ connect()
⚽ cursor()
⚽ execute()
⚽ executescript()
⚽ executemany()
⚽ commit()
⚽ rollback()
⚽ fetchone()
⚽ fetchall()
⚽ fetchmany(n)
⚽ fetch
⚽ close()

These methods won't be changed from database to database and same for all databases.

Working with Oracle Database:
From Python Program if we want to communicate with any database, some translator
must be required to translate Python calls into Database specific calls and Database
specific calls into Python calls.This translator is nothing but Driver/Connector.

Diagram

For Oracle database the name of driver needed is cx_Oracle.

cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that enables access to Oracle Database.It can
be used for both Python2 and Python3. It can work with any version of Oracle database
like 9,10,11 and 12.

Installing cx_Oracle:
From Normal Command Prompt (But not from Python console) execute the following
command

D:\python_classes>pip install cx_Oracle

Working with MySQL Database:

Current version: 5.7.19
Vendor: SUN Micro Systems/Oracle Corporation
Open Source and Freeware
Default Port: 3306
Default user: root

Note: In MySQL, everything we have to work with our own databases, which are also
known as Logical Databases.

The following are 4 Default Databases available in MySQL.

 information_schema
 mysql
 performance_schema
 test

In the above diagram only one physical database is available and 4 logical databases are
available.

Commonly used Commands in MySQL:

1) To Know Available Databases
mysql> show databases;

2) To Create Our Own Logical Database

mysql> create database durgadb;

3) To Drop Our Own Database

mysql> drop database durgadb;

4) To Use a Particular Logical Database
mysql> use durgadb; OR mysql> connect durgadb;

5) To Create a Table
create table employees(eno int(5) primary key,ename varchar(10),esal double(10,2),
eaddr varchar(10));

6) To Insert Data
insert into employees values(100,'Durga',1000,'Hyd');
insert into employees values(200,'Ravi',2000,'Mumbai');

In MySQL instead of single quotes we can use double quotes also.

Driver/Connector Information:
From Python program if we want to communicates with MySql database, compulsory
some translator is required to convert python specific calls into mysql database specific
calls and mysql database specific calls into python specific calls. This translator is nothing
but Driver or Connector.

We have to download connector seperately from mysql database.

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/2.1.html

How to Check Installation:

From python console we have to use help("modules")
In the list of modules, compulsory MySQL should be there.

Note: In the case of Python3.4 we have to set PATH and PYTHONPATH explicitly

PATH=C:\Python34
PYTHONPATH=C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages

☕ If we want to represent a group of Strings according to a particular format/pattern
then we should go for Regular Expressions.
☕ i.e Regualr Expressions is a declarative mechanism to represent a group of Strings
accroding to particular format/pattern.
☕ Eg 1: We can write a regular expression to represent all mobile numbers
☕ Eg 2: We can write a regular expression to represent all mail ids.

☕ The main important application areas of Regular Expressions are

1) To develop validation frameworks/validation logic
2) To develop Pattern matching applications (ctrl-f in windows, grep in UNIX etc)
3) To develop Translators like compilers, interpreters etc
4) To develop digital circuits
5) To develop communication protocols like TCP/IP, UDP etc.

☕ We can develop Regular Expression Based applications by using python module: re

☕ This module contains several inbuilt functions to use Regular Expressions very easily in
our applications.

1) compile()
Returns Module contains compile() Function to compile a Pattern into RegexObject.
pattern = re.compile("ab")

2) finditer():
Returns an Iterator object which yields Match object for every Match
matcher = pattern.finditer("abaababa")

On Match object we can call the following methods.

1) start()  Returns start index of the match
2) end()  Returns end+1 index of the match
3) group()  Returns the matched string

1) import re count=0
2) pattern=re.compile("ab")
3) matcher=pattern.finditer("abaababa")
4) for match in matcher:
5) count+=1
6) print(match.start(),"...",match.end(),"...",match.group())
7) print("The number of occurrences: ",count)

Output:
0 ... 2 ... ab
3 ... 5 ... ab
5 ... 7 ... ab

The number of occurrences: 3

Note: We can pass pattern directly as argument to finditer() function.

1) import re
2) count=0
3) matcher=re.finditer("ab","abaababa")
4) for match in matcher:
5) count+=1
6) print(match.start(),"...",match.end(),"...",match.group())
7) print("The number of occurrences: ",count)

Output:
0 ... 2 ... ab
3 ... 5 ... ab
5 ... 7 ... ab
The number of occurrences: 3

Character Classes:
We can use character classes to search a group of characters

1) [abc]  Either a OR b OR c
2) [^abc]  Except a and b and c
3) [a-z]  Any Lower case alphabet symbol
4) [A-Z]  Any upper case alphabet symbol
5) [a-zA-Z]  Any alphabet symbol
6) [0-9]  Any digit from 0 to 9
7) [a-zA-Z0-9]  Any alphanumeric character
8) [^a-zA-Z0-9] Except alphanumeric characters(Special Characters)

1) import re
2) matcher=re.finditer("x","a7b@k9z")
3) for match in matcher:
4) print(match.start(),"......",match.group())

x = [abc] x = [^abc] x = [a-z] x = [0-9] x = [a-zA-Z0-9] x = [^a-zA-Z0-9]

We can use quantifiers to specify the number of occurrences to match.
1) a  Exactly one 'a'
2) a+  Atleast one 'a'
3) a*  Any number of a's including zero number
4) a?  Atmost one 'a' ie either zero number or one number

2) l=re.findall("[0-9]","a7b9c5kz")
3) print(l)

Output: ['7', '9', '5']

5) finditer():
 Returns the iterator yielding a match object for each match.
 On each match object we can call start(), end() and group() functions.

1) import re
2) itr=re.finditer("[a-z]","a7b9c5k8z")
3) for m in itr:
4) print(m.start(),"...",m.end(),"...",m.group())

10) $ symbol:
 We can use $ symbol to check whether the given target string ends with
our provided pattern or not.
 Eg: res = re.search("Easy$",s)
 If the target string ends with Easy then it will return Match
object,otherwise returns None.

test.py

1) import re
2) s="Learning Python is Very Easy"
3) res=re.search("Easy$",s)
4) if res != None:
5) print("Target String ends with Easy")
6) else:
7) print("Target String Not ends with Easy")

Output: Target String ends with Easy

Note: If we want to ignore case then we have to pass 3rd argument re.IGNORECASE for
search() function.
Eg: res = re.search("easy$",s,re.IGNORECASE)

Web Scraping by using Regular Expressions

The process of collecting information from web pages is called web scraping. In web
scraping to match our required patterns like mail ids, mobile numbers we can use regular
expressions.

1) import re,urllib
2) import urllib.request
3) sites="google rediff".split()
4) print(sites)
5) for s in sites:
6) print("Searching...",s)

Decorator is a function which can take a function as argument and extend its functionality
and returns modified function with extended functionality.

Input Function new(add some functionality)

wish() Decorator
inner()

Input Function Decorator Output Function with

Function extended Functionality

The main objective of decorator functions is we can extend the functionality of existing
functions without modifies that function.

1) def wish(name):
2) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")

This function can always print same output for any name

Hello Durga Good Morning

Hello Ravi Good Morning
Hello Sunny Good Morning

But we want to modify this function to provide different message if name is Sunny.
We can do this without touching wish() function by using decorator.

1) def decor(func):
2) def inner(name):
3) if name=="Sunny":
4) print("Hello Sunny Bad Morning")
5) else:
6) func(name)
7) return inner
8)
9) @decor
10) def wish(name):
11) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")
12)
13) wish("Durga")
14) wish("Ravi")
15) wish("Sunny")

Output
Hello Durga Good Morning
Hello Ravi Good Morning

Hello Sunny Bad Morning
In the above program whenever we call wish() function automatically decor function will
be executed.

How to call Same Function with Decorator and without Decorator:

We should not use @decor

1) def decor(func):
2) def inner(name):
3) if name=="Sunny":
4) print("Hello Sunny Bad Morning")
5) else:
6) func(name)
7) return inner
8)
9) def wish(name):
10) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")
11)
12) decorfunction=decor(wish)
13)
14) wish("Durga") #decorator wont be executed
15) wish("Sunny") #decorator wont be executed
16)
17) decorfunction("Durga")#decorator will be executed
18) decorfunction("Sunny")#decorator will be executed

Output
Hello Durga Good Morning
Hello Sunny Good Morning

Decorator Chaining
We can define multiple decorators for the same function and all these decorators will form
Decorator Chaining.
Eg:
@decor1
@decor
def num():

For num() function we are applying 2 decorator functions. First inner decorator will work and
then outer decorator.

Advantages of Generator Functions:

1) When compared with Class Level Iterators, Generators are very easy to use.
2) Improves Memory Utilization and Performance.
3) Generators are best suitable for reading Data from Large Number of Large Files.
4) Generators work great for web scraping and crawling.

Generators vs Normal Collections wrt Performance:

Generators vs Normal Collections wrt Memory Utilization:

Normal Collection:
l=[x*x for x in range(10000000000000000)]
print(l[0])

We will get MemoryError in this case because all these values are required to store in the
memory.

Generators:
g=(x*x for x in range(10000000000000000))
print(next(g))

Output: 0

We won't get any MemoryError because the values won't be stored at the beginning

Debugging Python Program by using assert Keyword:
☕ The process of identifying and fixing the bug is called debugging.
☕ Very common way of debugging is to use print() statement. But the problem with the
print() statement is after fixing the bug,compulsory we have to delete the extra added
print() statments,otherwise these will be executed at runtime which creates
performance problems and disturbs console output.
☕ To overcome this problem we should go for assert statement. The main advantage of
assert statement over print() statement is after fixing bug we are not required to
delete assert statements. Based on our requirement we can enable or disable assert
statements.
☕ Hence the main purpose of assertions is to perform debugging. Usully we can perform
debugging either in development or in test environments but not in production
environment. Hence assertions concept is applicable only for dev and test
environments but not for production environment.

Types of assert Statements:

There are 2 types of assert statements
1) Simple Version
2) Augmented Version

1) Simple Version:
assert conditional_expression

2) Augmented Version:
 assert conditional_expression, message
 conditional_expression will be evaluated and if it is true then the program will
be continued.
 If it is false then the program will be terminated by raising AssertionError.
 By seeing AssertionError, programmer can analyze the code and can fix the problem.

It is highly recommended to store complete application flow and exceptions information
to a file. This process is called logging.

The main advanatages of logging are:

1) We can use log files while performing debugging
2) We can provide statistics like number of requests per day etc

To implement logging, Python provides inbuilt module logging.

Logging Levels:
Depending on type of information, logging data is divided according to the following 6
levels in python

1) CRITICAL  50
Represents a very serious problem that needs high attention

2) ERROR  40
Represents a serious error

3) WARNING  30
Represents a warning message, some caution needed. It is alert to the programmer.

4) INFO  20
Represents a message with some important information

5) DEBUG  10
Represents a message with debugging information

6) NOTSET  0
Represents that level is not set

By default while executing Python program only WARNING and higher level messages will
be displayed.

How to implement Logging:

To perform logging, first we required to create a file to store messages and we have to
specify which level messages required to store.

We can do this by using basicConfig() function of logging module.

logging.basicConfig(filename='log.txt',level=logging.WARNING)

The above line will create a file log.txt and we can store either WARNING level or higher
level messages to that file.

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
After creating log file, we can write messages to that file by using the following methods
☕ logging.debug(message)
☕ logging.info(message)
☕ logging.warning(message)
☕ logging.error(message)
☕ logging.critical(message)

Q) Write a Python Program to create a Log File and write WARNING and
Higher Level Messages?

1) import logging
2) logging.basicConfig(filename='log.txt',level=logging.WARNING)
3) print('Logging Demo')
4) logging.debug('Debug Information')
5) logging.info('info Information')
6) logging.warning('warning Information')
7) logging.error('error Information')
8) logging.critical('critical Information')

log.txt:
WARNING:root:warning Information
ERROR:root:error Information
CRITICAL:root:critical Information

Note: In the above program only WARNING and higher level messages will be written to
the log file. If we set level as DEBUG then all messages will be written to the log file.

test.py

1) import logging
2) logging.basicConfig(filename='log.txt',level=logging.DEBUG)
3) print('Logging Demo')
4) logging.debug('Debug Information')
5) logging.info('info Information')
6) logging.warning('warning Information')
7) logging.error('error Information')
8) logging.critical('critical Information')

How to configure Log File in over writing Mode:
In the above program by default data will be appended to the log file.i.e append is the
default mode. Instead of appending if we want to over write data then we have to
use filemode property.

logging.basicConfig(filename='log786.txt',level=logging.WARNING)
Meant for appending

logging.basicConfig(filename='log786.txt',level=logging.WARNING,filemode='a')
Explicitly we are specifying appending.

logging.basicConfig(filename='log786.txt',level=logging.WARNING,filemode='w')
Meant for over writing of previous data.

Note:
logging.basicConfig(filename='log.txt',level=logging.DEBUG)
If we are not specifying level then the default level is WARNING(30)
If we are not specifying file name then the messages will be printed to the console.

test.py

1) import logging
2) logging.basicConfig()
3) print('Logging Demo')
4) logging.debug('Debug Information')
5) logging.info('info Information')
6) logging.warning('warning Information')
7) logging.error('error Information')
8) logging.critical('critical Information')

How to Format Log Messages:

By using format keyword argument, we can format messages.

1) To display only level name: logging.basicConfig(format='%(levelname)s')

Output
WARNING
ERROR
CRITICAL

2) To display levelname and message:
logging.basicConfig(format='%(levelname)s:%(message)s')
Output
WARNING:warning Information
ERROR:error Information
CRITICAL:critical Information

How to add Timestamp in the Log Messages:

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(message)s')

Output
2018-06-15 11:50:08,325:WARNING:warning Information
2018-06-15 11:50:08,372:ERROR:error Information
2018-06-15 11:50:08,372:CRITICAL:critical Information

How to Change Date and Time Format:

We have to use special keyword argument: datefmt

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(message)s',
datefmt='%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')
datefmt='%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p'  Case is important

Output
15/06/2018 12:04:31 PM:WARNING:warning Information
15/06/2018 12:04:31 PM:ERROR:error Information
15/06/2018 12:04:31 PM:CRITICAL:critical Information

Note:
%I  means 12 Hours time scale
%H  means 24 Hours time scale

Eg: logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(message)s',
datefmt='%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S')

Output:
15/06/2018 12:06:28:WARNING:warning Information
15/06/2018 12:06:28:ERROR:error Information

Problems with Root Logger:

If we are not defining our own logger,then bydefault root logger will be considered.
Once we perform basic configuration to root logger then the configurations are fixed
and we cannot change.

Demo Application:
student.py:

1) import logging
2) logging.basicConfig(filename='student.log',level=logging.INFO)
3) logging.info('info message from student module')

test.py:

1) import logging
2) import student
3) logging.basicConfig(filename='test.log',level=logging.DEBUG)
4) logging.debug('debug message from test module')

student.log:
INFO: root:info message from student module

 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
In the above application the configurations performed in test module won't be reflected,
because root logger is already configured in student module.

Need of Our Own Customized Logger:

The problems with root logger are:

1) Once we set basic configuration then that configuration is final and we cannot change.
2) It will always work for only one handler at a time, either console or file, but not
both simultaneously.
3) It is not possible to configure logger with different configurations at different levels.
4) We cannot specify multiple log files for multiple modules/classes/methods.

To overcome these problems we should go for our own customized loggers

Advanced logging Module Features: Logger:

Logger is more advanced than basic logging.
It is highly recommended to use and it provides several extra features.

Steps for Advanced Logging:

1) Creation of Logger object and set log level.
logger = logging.getLogger('demologger')
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

2) Creation of Handler object and set log level.

3) There are several types of Handlers like StreamHandler, FileHandler etc.

consoleHandler =
logging.StreamHandler()
consoleHandler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
Note: If we use StreamHandler then log messages will be printed to console.

4) Creation of Formatter Object.

formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s: %(message)s',
datefmt = '%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')

5) Add Formatter to Handler  consoleHandler.setFormatter(formatter)

6) Add Handler to Logger  logger.addHandler(consoleHandler)

7) Write messages by using logger object and the following

methods logger.debug('debug message')
logger.info('info message')

201 DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet,

Hyderabad - 500038,
 040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 |
 logger.warn('warn
message') logger.error('error
message')
logger.critical('critical message')

Note: Bydefault logger will set to WARNING level. But we can set our own level based on
our requirement.
logger = logging.getLogger('demologger')
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

logger log level by default available to console and file handlers. If we are not satisfied
with logger level, then we can set log level explicitly at console level and file levels.

consoleHandler = logging.StreamHandler()
consoleHandler.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

fileHandler = logging.FileHandler('abc.log',mode='a')
fileHandler.setLevel(logging.ERROR)

Note: console and file log levels should be supported by logger. i.e logger log level should
be lower than console and file levels. Otherwise only logger log level will be considered.

Eg:
logger  DEBUG console  INFO  Valid and INFO will be considered
logger  INFO console  DEBUG  Invalid and only INFO will be considered to the
console.

Demo Program for Console Handler:

1) import logging
2) class LoggerDemoConsole:
3)
4) def testLog(self):
5) logger = logging.getLogger('demologger')
6) logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
7)
8) consoleHandler = logging.StreamHandler()
9) consoleHandler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
10)
11) formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s -
%(levelname)s: %(message)s',
12) datefmt='%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p')
13)
14) consoleHandler.setFormatter(formatter)
15) logger.addHandler(consoleHandler)

logging.getLogger(LoggerDemoConsole. name )

In this case output is:

Logger with Configuration File:

In the above program, everything we hard coded in the python script. It is not a good
programming practice. We will configure all the required things inside a configuration file
and we can use this file directly in our program.

logging.config.fileConfig('logging.conf')
logger = logging.getLogger(LoggerDemoConf. name )

Note: The extension of the file need not be conf. We can use any extension like txt or
durga etc.

Advantages of Customized Logger:

1) We can reuse same customlogger code where ever logger required.
2) For every caller we can able to create a seperate log file
3) For different handlers we can set different log levels.

Another Example for Custom Handler:

customlogger.py:

1) import logging
2) import inspect
3) def getCustomLogger(level):
4) loggername=inspect.stack()[1][3]
5)
6) logger=logging.getLogger(loggername)
7) logger.setLevel(level)
8) fileHandler=logging.FileHandler('test.log',mode='a')
