PYTHON: GETTING

STARTED AND
PROGRAMMING BASICS
Python Overview

 General-purpose Object Oriented Programming language.


 High-level language
 Developed in late 1980 by Guido van Rossum at National Research Institute for
Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands.
 It is derived from programming languages such as ABC, Modula 3, small talk,
Algol-68.
 It is Open Source Scripting language.
 It is Case-sensitive language (Difference between uppercase and lowercase
letters).
 One of the official languages at Google.
Characteristics of Python:

 Interpreted: Python source code is compiled to byte code as a .pyc file, and this
byte code can be interpreted by the interpreter.
 Interactive
 Object Oriented Programming Language
 Easy & Simple
 Portable
 Scalable: Provides improved structure for supporting large programs.
 Integrated
 Expressive Language
Python Interpreter: There are two modes to use the python interpreter:
Names of some Python interpreters are:
1. Interactive Mode
 PyCharm
Without passing python script file to the interpreter,
 Python IDLE
directly execute code to Python (Command line).
 The Python Bundle
2. Script Mode
 pyGUI
 Sublime Text etc. In this mode source code is stored in a file with
the .py extension and use the interpreter to execute
the contents of the file. To execute the script by the
interpreter, you have to tell the interpreter the name
of the file.
