ABOUT PYTHON

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming

language. It is an open source language, released under
a GPL-Compatible license. Python Software Foundation
(PSF), a non-profit organization, holds the copy-right of
python. Guido Van Rossum conceived python in the
late 1980s. It was released in 1991 at Centrum
Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands as a
successor to the ABC language. He named this
language after a popular comedy show called “Monty
Python’s Flying
Circus‟ (and not after python - the snake). In the last
few years, it’s popularity has increased immensely.
Python is in the top ten most popular technologies in
2018. It is also dynamically-typed because it carries out
type-checking at run time. It does so to make sure that
the type of construct matches what we except it to be.
The distinctive feature of python is that it is an
interpreted language. The Python IDLE (Integrated
Development & Learning Environment) executes
instruction one line at a time. The python programming
language is one of the richest languages

Features
1. Easy :-
Python is a very easy to learn and understand; using this python
tutorial, any beginner can understand the basics of python.
2. Interpreted :-
It is interpreted (executed) line by line. This makes it easy to test and
debug.
3. Object Oriented :-
The python programming language supports classes and objects.
4. Free and Open-Source :-
The language and it’s source code are available to the public for free;
there is no need to buy a costly license.
5. Portable :-
Since it is open source, we can run python on windows, mac, linux, or
any other platforms. Our programs will work without needing to the
changed for every machine.
6. GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming :-
We can use it to develop a GUI (Graphical User Interface). One way
to do this is through „Tkinter‟.
7. Large Library :-
Python provides us with a large standard library. We can use it to
implement a variety of functions without needing to reinvent the
wheel every time. Just pick the code we need and continue. This lets
us to focus on other important tasks

How to install Python

Point your web browser to the download page on the
Python website (www.python.org).
Select the latest Windows x86 MSI Installer and click on
the link to download the .msi installer.
Run the installer.
Select „Install for all users‟ and click the Next > button.
Keep the default option (C:\Python32\) as the
destination directory and click Next > again.
Don’t make any changes in the „Customize Python
3.2.3‟ dialog, just click Next > again.
Click Yes if asked if this program should be allowed to
install software on your system.
Click the Finish button when installation completes
OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The objective of this project is to let the students apply

the programming knowledge into a real-world
situation/problem and exposed the students how
programming skills help in developing a good software.
Some key points are as follows :-
Utilising modern software tools for programming
games.
Apply object oriented programming principles
effectively when developing small to medium sized
projects.
Write effective procedural code to solve small to
medium sized problems.
Demonstrate a breadth of knowledge in computer
science, as exemplified in the area of game
development.
Demonstrate ability to conduct a research or applied
computer science project, requiring writing and
presentation skills which exemplify scholarly style in
computer science

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE

CYCLE

The System Development Life Cycle as used in the

construction of the server appliance.
The system development life cycle is a project
management technique that divides complex projects
into a smaller, more easily managed segments or
phases. Segmenting projects allow managers to verify
the successful completion of project phases before
allocating resources to subsequent phases.
Software development projects typically include
planning, creating, developing, testing and
maintenance. However, the phases may be divided
differently depending on the organization.
MODUELS USED AND THEIR
PURPOSES
requests : The requests module is a popular Python
library that makes it easy to send HTTP requests. HTTP
requests are used to communicate with web servers
and other resources on the internet . The requests
module provides a simple interface for making HTTP
requests. You can use it to get data from web pages,
upload files, and more.

FLOWCHART
SOURCE CODE
import requests

from_currency = str(
input("Enter in the currency you'd like to
convert from: ")).upper()

to_currency = str(
input("Enter in the currency you'd like to
convert to: ")).upper()

amount = float(input("Enter in the amount of

money: "))

#Converts EUR, ASU, USD, INR, CAD, BGN,

BLR,CHF,CYP
response = requests.get(
