This document provides information about an online Python course that the author has enrolled in through Swayam. The 19-week course is offered by IIT Bombay and instructed by Kannan Moudgalya. Python is introduced as a powerful, general-purpose, high-level programming language used across many domains that supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming. Key features of Python like being interpreted, extensible, embeddable, and having extensive libraries are highlighted. The document also provides a timeline of Python's history and releases as well as an overview of Python's basic types like strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and more.

IN WHICH COURSE I
HAVE ENROLLED
I have enrolled in the course PYTHON through
Swayam.
This course is offered by the  IIT Bombay and
this is 19 WEEKS long course.
The instructor of this course is Kannan
Moudgalya.
ABOUT THE COURSE
Python is a general-purpose, high-level, remarkably
powerful dynamic programming language that is
used in a wide variety of application domains.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms,
including object-oriented, imperative and functional
programming styles.
Python
Interpreted
◦ You run the program straight from the source code.
◦ Python program Bytecode a platforms native language
◦ You can just copy over your code to another system and it will auto-magically
work! *with python platform

Object-Oriented
◦ Simple and additionally supports procedural programming

Extensible – easily import other code


Embeddable –easily place your code in non-python programs
Extensive libraries
◦ (i.e. reg. expressions, doc generation, CGI, ftp, web browsers, ZIP, WAV,
cryptography, etc...) (wxPython, Twisted, Python Imaging library)
Python Timeline/History
In 1995, python 1.2 was released.
By version 1.4 python had several new features
◦ Keyword arguments (similar to those of common lisp)
◦ Built-in support for complex numbers
◦ Basic form of data-hiding through name mangling (easily bypassed
however)
Computer Programming for Everybody (CP4E) initiative
◦ Make programming accessible to more people, with basic “literacy” similar to
those required for English and math skills for some jobs.
◦ Project was funded by DARPA
◦ CP4E was inactive as of 2007, not so much a concern to get employees
programming “literate”
Python Timeline/History
In 2000, Python 2.0 was released.
◦ Introduced list comprehensions similar to Haskells
◦ Introduced garbage collection

In 2001, Python 2.2 was released.


◦ Included unification of types and classes into one hierarchy,
making pythons object model purely Object-oriented
◦ Generators were added(function-like iterator behavior)
Standards
◦ http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
Python types
Str, unicode – ‘MyString’, u‘MyString’
List – [ 69, 6.9, ‘mystring’, True]
Tuple – (69, 6.9, ‘mystring’, True) immutable
Set/frozenset – set([69, 6.9, ‘str’, True])
frozenset([69, 6.9, ‘str’, True]) –no duplicates & unordered
Dictionary or hash – {‘key 1’: 6.9, ‘key2’: False} - group of key and value
pairs
Python types
Int – 42- may be transparently expanded to long through 438324932L
Float – 2.171892
Complex – 4 + 3j
Bool – True of False
Python semantics
Each statement has its own semantics, the def
statement doesn’t get executed immediately like
other statements
Python uses duck typing, or latent typing
◦ Allows for polymorphism without inheritance
◦ This means you can just declare
“somevariable = 69” don’t actually have to declare a type
◦ print “somevariable = “ + tostring(somevariable)”
strong typing , can’t do operations on objects not defined
without explicitly asking the operation to be done
Python for the future
Python 3.0
◦ Will not be Backwards compatible, they are attempting to fix “perceived”
security flaws.
◦ Print statement will become a print function.
◦ All text strings will be unicode.
◦ Support of optional function annotation, that can be used for informal type
declarations and other purposes.
